  What should you do if a score for a piece you want isn't available?

• 
  @OrchestrationOnlineКүн бұрын

  I would say - if you've trained enough in the repertoire with most public domain scores, that gives you enough of a basis to identify what's being done with a more contemporary concert or film score - but not always. Even at that, thanks to Omni and Chris Siddall, there are many film scores to choose from for study that may use techniques or architecture in scores you can't get.

  Wonderful video about some of the potential of the trombone! I would like to add that as the dynamics increase, the higher overtones of the instrument also increase. This also makes it possible to use the less overtone-rich soft dynamics of the trombone in ways which do not cover up other instruments, including singers. Wagner was an expert at this, and we certainly embrace that role just as much as heroic fortissimos!

  i've seen prokofiev use this scoring too! what do you think of replacing contrabassoon with contrabass clarinet (e.g. in a band setting) would it have the sane effect?

• 
  @OrchestrationOnline7 күн бұрын

  For that, you can look no further than early Hitchcock and Twilight Zone episodes, before the low Bb bass clarinet models started replacing the EEb contra-altos. There are several instances, such as the last chord of the original TZ theme scored by Herrmann. The problem here is the extreme unctuousness and overtones from the octave combination, always so crisp and cutting. So the rich, undefinable weight we see here with contra would become more clear and urgent. That would probably not work here.

  While the piano may have been invented in the Baroque era, it was not used in classical music until the "Classica"l era (of Mozart and Haydn), and pianos with sustain pedals not until the nineteenth century.

• 
  @OrchestrationOnline8 күн бұрын

  Of course - now how am I going to fit all those details into a 60-second video? 🙂 But to look at the literature, it starts with CPE Bach and his contemporaries, so I would call that the Rococo Era, well before Haydn and Mozart. There was a fortepiano at the court of Frederick the Great, which JS Bach tried out and didn't care for too much. Around the same time, Scarlatti's royal pupil Queen Maria Barbara appears to have acquired two fortepianos (probably to accompany Farinelli) - but they were both refitted back into being harpsichords! So definitely the instruments were being used and written for from the late Baroque era onwards.

  is there a similar effect when doubling baritone or bass saxophone on top of contrabassoon

• 
  @OrchestrationOnline9 күн бұрын

  Not at all - those combinations would be closer to bassoon over contra. This bass clarinet's unique tone is in its lack of even-numbered partials. Baritone, bass sax, and bassoon all have the full spectrum of partials in their overtones.

  Would you consider the fact that the contrabassoon and bass clarinet are written at different dynamics an important detail? Or would you expect the players to balance in a similar way even if both were marked p or pp?

• 
  @OrchestrationOnline11 күн бұрын

  It is an essential detail in terms of balance for the way the passage is scored, but not quite enough time in this format to cover. I will deal with this in a video tip soon I hope.

• 
  @jonhalvorlund7 күн бұрын

  The players would always try to balance - it would be up to the conductor to "re-balance" when dynamics are different between instruments, since the players will normally not know, and assume they are the same. I have played this on contrabassoon many times, and had no idea until now that it has a different dynamic from the bass clarinet!

  Orff was a rock star. Just listen to the whole Carmina Burana (not just Oh Fortuna but the other pieces). You can easily adapt drums and elec guitars and you get prog rock from the 70s.

• 
  @OrchestrationOnline12 күн бұрын

  Well...Catulli Carmina is of course a piano/percussion ensemble, while Afrodite is a much more toned-down work, with more subtle textures. I'll be doing a short piece on this for the Pock Guide at the end.

  Question- I’m reading through henry brant’s orchestrators handbook and have been reading through other textbooks and Im confused about what it means for a chord to be perfectly balanced. Should there be the same number of pitches amongst instruments, or is it dependent on each instrument + dynamics, or some combination thereof?

  10:50 to 11:15 - The concert-pitch notes for the E-flat horn shown on the right-half of the screen should be one octave lower. In the old-notation bass clef the notes sound a minor-third higher than written (not a minor-tenth), and in the treble clef (and in the modern-notation bass clef, not shown in the video here) the notes sound a major-sixth lower than written (not a minor-third higher).
