Orchestration and Engraving
The orchestra is a powerful emotional tool. A great orchestrater realises the composers vision, producing results that suit the style and scale desired by the composer. An orchestrater also produces piano reductions for rehearsal settings or reduced orchestrations for smaller ensembles. An engraver is essential to facilitate performances of composers works. A well engraved orchestration allows for the accurate performance with limited rehearsal time.
