Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Method of Instrumentation, How to Write for the Orchestra and Arrange an Orchestral or Band Score, VOLUME 2: Wood, Brass and Drums' is a comprehensive technical guide designed for composers, conductors, and students of musical arrangement. Written by the esteemed musicologist Edwin Evans,…this second volume focuses specifically on the unique characteristics, capabilities, and blending of wind and percussion instruments within a larger ensemble.The text provides an in-depth exploration of the woodwind family-including flutes, oboes, clarinets, and bassoons-as well as the full range of brass instruments and the diverse world of drums and percussion. Evans offers practical advice on writing for individual instruments, balancing sections, and creating effective textures within a full orchestral or band score. Readers will find detailed discussions on range, transposition, and technical limitations, all aimed at achieving a professional and resonant sound.As a foundational work in the study of orchestration, this manual remains an invaluable resource for understanding the traditional principles of scoring. It bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, providing timeless insights into the art of transforming a musical idea into a fully realized symphonic or military band arrangement. Whether for educational purposes or as a reference for professional arrangers, this volume serves as an authoritative roadmap to the complexities of the orchestra.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
