The Technique of Orchestration Synopsis

The Technique of Orchestration, Seventh Edition, is the definitive textbook on the study of orchestration, offering a concise, straight-to-the-point approach that prepares students to score their own compositions with confidence. Updated to reflect developments in instruments and orchestral best practices, this seventh edition features:

  • Copious musical examples spanning the history of the orchestra
  • Detailed descriptions of instruments and their distinctive characteristics
  • Explanations of how to score chords and transcribe piano idioms
  • Discussions on specialized ensembles and scoring techniques

New musical examples have been added throughout and listening lists have been revised to include more music by women and composers of color, representing a diverse musical catalogue. Supported by an accompanying workbook of scores and scoring exercises (available separately), as well as a robust listening program keyed to the textbook, The Technique of Orchestration, Seventh Edition, is an accessible, essential, all-in-one resource for the student of orchestration.
