• Orchestration is easy

    I haven't touched this stuff since I was in a residential music program
    at Northwestern during the suumer, between two high school years, I took
    a class in orchestration but don't recall much beyond the instructor
    explaining the difference between writing to the scale the piece is in
    and writing to the scale certain ibstruments expect because they expect transposition.

    This video explains a few things about how writing in four-part harmony
    for a chorale can be the basis for orchestration.

    'Scuse me whilst I write that synphony, marking it sound like Korngold
    sounding like Rachmaninoff and selling it as a movie score.

    Note (heh) that the musical line being score sure sounds like Bach.
    Can't you hear the organ?
