About Volume 2A Imagine learning the scoring techniques creating the "Hollywood Sound" usually known by only a few top professional film orchestrators and composers. Now for the very first time, starting with Professional Orchestration, Volume 2A, Orchestrating the Melody Within the String Section, the hidden doors on the techniques you've been hearing in the scores of John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith and others for years, are, at last, finally open. Thus, after months of painstaking research, the "secret formulas" are secret no more. Loaded with references from 35 works in a large full page/full score format (that you can MIDI mock-up at your leisure) are 63 techniques referenced meticulously in the low, medium, high and very high registers which are matched to the optional MP3 audio package where excerpts are heard in the musical context of the scores.
For fast referencing, the techniques are grouped into eight categories: Unisons, Two-Parts, Three-Parts, Four-Parts, Five-Parts, Divisi in Octaves, Divisi in Intervals, and Special Combinations. Each technique has a brief commentary starting you off on identifying the technique and what else is happening within the score. There are so MIDI mock-up insights. You've been waiting for such a long time to learn and apply all these wonderful techniques. Why wait any longer?
