Professional Orchestration: A Practical Handbook - Workbook is the
Workbook for all three Handbooks in the series: From Piano to
Strings, From Piano to Woodwinds and From Piano to Orchestra. You
orchestrate and optionally record the same examples in the Workbook
for the homework assignments in each Handbook. This produces both a
print and audio catalog of your work that you can refer back to for
orchestration and compositional insights. An audio package
performing nearly all the Workbook examples is available for
separate purchase. You'll also want to order these companion titles
(available for separate purchase) from the Professional
Orchestration Series: Volume 1: Solo Instruments and
Instrumentation Notes, Volume 2A: Orchestrating the Melody Within
the String Section, Volume 2B: Orchestrating the Melody Within the
Woodwinds and Brass, and Volume 3: Orchestrating the Melody by
Combining Orchestral Sections. Also available are the Professional
Orchestration Sketchbooks: Pre-Ruled and Unruled.
In "Professional Orchestration: A Practical Handbook - From Piano
to Strings," conductor/composer Joseph Wagner, Founder of the
Boston Civic Symphony and former Composer-in-Residence at
Pepperdine University, teaches you applied orchestration by
demonstrating 30 different techniques within "The Reference Chart
of Keyboard Idioms" for transcribing piano parts and piano devices
to the string section. Techniques covered include Broken Intervals,
Broken Chords, Melodic Lines and Figurations, Implied Bass Parts,
Single Note Interval and Chord Repetitions, 2-3 Part Homophonic
Music, Spacing Problems, Contrast Problems, Voice Leading,
Obbligato, Antiphonal Effects, Tremolo Types, and Dance Forms.
Designed for either personal or classroom use. Included in "From
Piano to Strings" is the complete piano solo and separate string
ensemble adaption of Grieg's "Holberg Suite" demonstrating how
these techniques are applied and work in real practice. The
Appendix contains a bonus String Ensemble template for you to copy
and do your studies with and the "Chart of String Unisons" to help
you work out common string combinations. Available for separate
purchase is the "Workbook" with audio files that gives you dozens
of homework examples to orchestrate. The "Workbook" is used with
all three handbooks in the series - starting with "From Piano to
Strings," then "From Piano to Woodwinds," and finally "From Piano
to Orchestra." "From Piano to Strings" builds both orchestration
and composition skills for live performance, but also develops MIDI
mockup and recording skills. Companion titles for this series
available for separate purchase are Alexander Publishing's
"Professional Orchestration Volume 1: Solo Instruments and
Instrumentation Notes" and "Volume 2A: Orchestrating the Melody
Within the String Section."
