Arranging music is an art that involves creatively reinterpreting existing pieces for different ensembles, adding musical variety through a deep understanding of compositional techniques such as harmony, counterpoint, ostinatos, and arpeggios. For those composing original music, the process of adapting the composition for specific instruments is known as scoring or orchestration. This book provides valuable tips for beginning arrangers and composers, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive grasp of music theory for successful original compositions.
The book highlights the importance of timbre and instrument range knowledge for arrangers. It explores various arrangements that significantly transform the original piece, such as altering its form or harmony or adding a countermelody. A starting point for arranging is using the original form, melody, and chords to give the music a new touch through orchestration.
The book advises beginning arrangers to write for instruments they are well-acquainted with, considering their ranges and capabilities to avoid creating overly difficult arrangements. Vince Corozine (2002) emphasizes the need for adjustments when translating piano music to ensemble performances. Similarly, envisioning the final sound of an arrangement is crucial, akin to a painter visualizing colours before starting their work. Designed as a comprehensive guide, this book offers step-by-step advice for arranging everything from simple hymn tunes to complex orchestral pieces. It provides a detailed look at standard wind ensemble instrumentation, aiming to enhance readers' arranging skills for wind ensembles. From an arranger and composer's perspective, the book serves as a reference for analysing arranging techniques specifically for wind ensembles, although it is also applicable to other instrumental ensembles. It aims to assist arrangers and composers in improving their skills and understanding of various instruments and their application in musical arrangements.
This book addresses the challenges bandmasters face in arranging choral music for wind and other ensembles, offering strategies for re-arranging or re-composing music for wind ensembles within the contemporary music scene. The skills and concepts presented will help beginners and aspiring arrangers and composers to effectively utilize various instrument combinations for military/marching, pop, and concert bands, catering to the contemporary audience's preference for band performances at ceremonies and events.
