Orchestration is the art of expressing musical ideas through deployment of the vast array of instrumental forces available in the modern symphony orchestra. The study of orchestration is the systematic acquisition of skills necessary to do this work: 1. development of basic knowledge of the workings of each instrument organized by families (winds, brass, percussion, strings). This knowledge is acquired through information provided by the instructor and from textbooks, as well as from live demonstrations of the instruments by members of the class and by guests brought in for the purpose. 2. development of skill in combining these individual forces using techniques drawn from various historical and contemporary practices. These skills are learned through a variety of individual orchestration projects and when possible, the results are verified through live readings and performances. 3. The skills thus acquired are contextualized through a basic study of orchestration techniques as demonstrated in major works of the literature by composers such as Beethoven, Berlioz, Mahler, Stravinsky, Ravel, Ligeti and Adams.
