Vintage 1985 - 433 Pages Developed and refined at the renowned Grove School of Music in Los Angeles, this text serves as an encyclopedic, step-by-step manual for contemporary and jazz arranging. Endorsed by legendary arranger Sammy Nestico, the course is divided into four comprehensive parts: the technical foundations of instrumental ranges and melody writing, melodic handling and harmonic variation, complex harmonic density (including voicing up to 8-part harmony), and a structured working procedure for drafting complete concert sketches. Features a brief, unobtrusive sequence of handwritten jazz chord symbols in pencil (Eb7 Ab6 G7) in the lower-left margin of the title page, suggesting past ownership by an active student of the Grove School or a working jazz musician.
