MUS 334 Orchestration & Instrumentation

A blended approach to arranging and orchestration that moves between MIDI sequencing and staff notation. Students will complete a series of creative exercises (of increasing complexity) for rhythm section and strings. They will build MIDI realizations of score excerpts to master basic expressive parameters in Logic, study the functions of different instruments, and learn notational conventions in a variety of styles. They will also arrange original compositions in Logic and create a clear condensed score for a large ensemble. Prerequisites: MUS 207 or 208.
