Composition / Arrangement / Orchestration


Modern Orchestration was born with Felix Mendelssohn, more precisely with his Overture to Shakespeare'sMidsummer Night's Dream, composed when he was 17 years old. Since then, the works of a few choice composers, like Rimsky-Korsakoff, Saint-Saëns, and Ravel, have served as examples to younger generations of composers, and continue to do so.

Learning

Orchestration evolves in the World ofEnergy, with its Quantitative Dimension of Volume and its Qualitative Dimension of Timbre, and has fundamentally little to do with the basic structure of a piece of music. This knowledge of Orchestration will be useful to the composer for the embellishment of his own works and also to the conductor for corrections in existing works.
