Class Use
Because of the techniques covered, along with the inclusion of the Naxos Music Library, Professional Orchestration, Volume 4, Vertical Harmony Within Each Orchestral Section is a must supplement for any orchestration class using other texts to cover instrumentation issues.
Following Volume 1’s approach, all devices and combinations are meticulously organized by the low, medium, high and very high registers, with, in many cases, multiple full page/full score examples demonstrating each technique.
What the student sees, the student hears. What you hear, you learn in your inner ear so that when you hear the device in the musical imagination, you know what it is and how to write for it.
Tapping Technology
Each technique covered in the printed edition is highlighted with a light gray screen. But with the PDF edition, color is used to highlight these techniques. Combined with the Naxos Music Library, and you have a completely portable, value-priced training package only available from Alexander Publishing.
Naxos Music Library
Specific playlists are setup to cover all the musical examples used in Volume 4.
Overview
