Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The third edition of the high successful orchestration text follows the approach established in its innovative predecessor: Learning orchestration is best achieved through familiarity with the orchestral literature; this familiarity is most effectively accomplished from the music notation in combination with the recorded sound.

To this end, this set of compact discs has been created especially for this revised edition, comprising every music example from the literature reproduced in the book, professionally recorded. Compact disc technology allowed the teacher or the student to zero in on the exact example or excerpt under discussion at any given moment.

For comprehensiveness, conciseness, and contemporaneity, The Study of Orchestration remains without peer. --This text refers to the CD-ROM edition.
