The technique of orchestration

This masterful textbook emphasizes the fundamentals of orchestration. Following a brief introduction to the orchestra, the authors discuss the instruments individually, then by section, and finally in the full orchestral context. Suitable for beginning orchestration courses, the book also contains more advanced material. New to this Fifth Edition are revision of the chapter on writing of score and parts to reflect current uses of the computer and of photocopying techniques, a short commentary on the role of synthesizers today, and an appendix giving vocal and choral ranges.
