MUS 334 - Orchestration4 credits
Musicians must be conversant with the instruments commonly used in compositions in western music. Studies each instrument in the common-practice orchestra and includes its history, construction, timbre (tonal quality) and individual writing techniques endemic to its tonal color. As the course progresses, these instruments will be combined into families (string, woodwind, brass and percussion) and then finally as a full orchestra. Students will have the opportunity to work with music writing software and instrumental sampling software so they can hear the results of their orchestrations. Prerequisite: MUS 303 .
