Professional Orchestration - 596 pages, Illustrated.
Imagine learning the scoring techniques creating the "Hollywood Sound" usually known by only a few top professional film orchestrators and composers. Loaded with references from 35 works in a large full page/full score format (that you can MIDI mock-up at your leisure) are 63 techniques referenced meticulously in the low, medium, high and very high registers which are matched to the optional MP3 audio package where excerpts are heard in the musical context of the scores.
For fast referencing, the techniques are grouped into eight categories: Unisons, Two-Parts, Three-Parts, Four-Parts, Five-Parts, Divisi in Octaves, Divisi in Intervals, and Special Combinations.
Each technique has a brief commentary starting you off on identifying the technique and what else is happening within the score. There are so MIDI mock-up insights.
