Arranger for hire – orchestration and more<\/strong><\/p>\n

The word \u201corchestration\u201d essentially means the bringing together of different elements for one conjoined effect. For an experienced arranger, though, orchestration is just one aspect of a number of different ways of recasting a musical idea. As a composer, orchestrator, and working musician, I\u2019ve practiced various types of arranging, most of which are listed below.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Style and Approach<\/strong><\/p>\n

As with my composing, I have strong roots in the concert music approach. I also have worked as a manager, trainer, and consultant for the popular music industry. The result is that I bring a lot of different influences into my scoring, and give the orchestra a colorful, prominent role in any type of scoring.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m perfectly comfortable expanding a small idea into a huge orchestral tutti – or taking a very big idea and condensing it for a smaller ensemble. But more than that, I\u2019m fascinated by the task of making a musical idea fit the emotional and dramatic context inherent in the texture and character of the available instruments.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m quite interested as well in capturing the essence of a musical genre or period. I\u2019ve arranged scores in the style of many different eras, and crossed over between musical theatre, concert music, rock, jazz, and other idioms. When bringing two different styles together, I like to explore the possibilities of forging a new combined approach between the two, and using that approach to deepen the meaning of the musical idea.<\/p>\n
