Orchestration is the fine art of painting with sound, where each instrument in the orchestra offers a unique color or texture to your composition palette. It's not just about combining sounds; it's about understanding the principles of their harmonious blend. In this series of masterclasses, we will delve into the world of strings and winds, exploring how to write effectively for each instrument.
Key Focus Areas:
- Instrumentation: Gain a deep understanding of how to write idiomatically for every orchestral instrument, from violin to contrabass, and flute to saxophone.
- Composition: Learn to blend the diverse sounds of the orchestra to create new, unique sonorities that captivate your audience.
- Synthestration: Master the art of creating a realistic orchestral sound using sample libraries with popular production software like Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Cubase, etc.
In This First Class: "Part 1 - The Strings & The Winds" Our journey begins with a deep dive into the strings (violin, viola, cello, bass/contrabass) and the winds (flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and saxophone). We'll cover everything from transposition, score order, and reading scores to preparing parts for players, managing page turns and breaks in instruments, and exploring a myriad of woodwind effects and multiphonics.
