	Orchestration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Orchestration is the study and practice of adapting music for an orchestra or musical ensemble.
		However, in practice orchestration is often used interchangeably with arrangement, rewriting a piece of pre-existing music for a specific set of instruments or voices, often in harmony or with additional original material, and both terms often describe the scoring of material which is not pre-existing.
		An orchestrator will usually be presented with a piece in short score (that is, written on around three or four musical staves) or else the piece will be written as if it were to be played on a piano.

	Introduction to Music - Orchestration, the Colours of Music
		Orchestration is the art of composing for an orchestra, always keeping in mind each instrument's potential and limitations.
		Orchestration is just as important in composition as is counterpoint, the fugue, or the study of musical forms.
		Stravinsky wrote glissandos for all instruments and frequently used the harmonics of the double bass, techniques that Vincent D'Indy (not a fan of such devices) described as "horror effects worthy of the movies." Scriabin was already rethinking the use of equal temperament tuning in his orchestra.

	Orchestration for Dummies
		So up until now the only folks who could truly orchestrate were those who had studied music for years, and even those folks could look forward to hearing their own music played by an orchestra very seldom.
		It is GPO that has brought Orchestration to the masses, and for $250 you get not only the entire orchestra but a sequencer and notational program to boot.
		Orchestration in it's pure form is taking an arrangement such as that in B and assigning different instruments to it, assigning certain notes to certain instruments, collapsing it to a piano only, or taking a piano piece and expanding it to an entire orchestra.

	Orchestration
		A problem in teaching orchestration is that transcription of existing music never gives the student the opportunity of creating a complete orchestral texture on his own.
		Composers like Mahler and Ravel, wonderful orchestrators though they are, are not suitable for beginners since their textures are often very rich and complex.
		More advanced orchestration begins with Wagner, in particular the richness of his orchestral polyphony as a norm, and the way he uses the enlarged orchestral families.

	Artistic Orchestration Tutorial
		Since any student studying orchestration should have already mastered basic harmony —; and consequently also the norms of four part choral writing — a useful point of departure is to compare each section with the vocal choir.
		This contradiction leads to a complex relationship between part-writing and orchestration, particularly when - as is normal, to justify the expense of an orchestra in the first place - one tries to use all of the players a fair amount of the time.
		Orchestration brings another dimension to the issue of movement: As the number of instruments increases, if all the instruments are moving on the same rhythmic plane, the effect becomes more and more ponderous.

	An overview of web services orchestration standards - HP Dev Resource Central

		For orchestration, the process is always controlled from the perspective of one of the business parties.
		When the orchestration server detects an asynchronous call, it automatically pauses execution and passivates the state of the current activity in a database.

	Application Development Trends - Orchestration promise meets reality
		The concept of orchestration applies to a meta-view of services, explained Ismael Ghalimi, co-founder and chief strategy officer at San Mateo, Calif.-based Intalio Inc. “A service to manage and confirm purchase orders, for example, is where the notion of orchestration comes in, not a service to exchange the purchase orders,” he said.
		Corporations that want to orchestrate services must first have their applications componentized, and then know where all those components are, what they do and how they work “with enough detail for you to assemble those components into an application,” Sholler said.
		Orchestrator’s repository is similar; it will let users “not only find the interface, but also information about the business processes that are being automated.” It has a business process definition in XML.

	Orchestration
		It is the study of individual instruments, their capabilities and limitations and how to properly notate music for them (the ranges of instruments, what clefs or transpositions they use, etc.) Orchestration, per se, is the art of scoring for groups of instruments.
		In the end, what distinguishes an excellent orchestrator from a mediocre one is imagination, a quality that can be developed and fostered, but arguably not learned.
		Many college orchestration courses are two semesters long, and the Adler textbook, like several others, is designed for that length of time.

	Classical Net - Books About Music - Orchestration
		Addressing the emotional and psychological effects of instrumentation, as well as techniques in orchestration, this is a classic text by one of the great orchestrators.
		Fifth Edition includes sections on scoring for woodwinds, percussion, brass, strings and ensembles, as well as comprehensive chapters on bowing and special effects, scoring chords for each section and for the orchestra, transcribing piano music, infrequently used instruments, scoring for high school orchestra and for non-orchestral instrumental groups.
		The third edition of this highly 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.

	Orchestration, Choreography and Choreostration
		Stefan Tikov's blog entry on Choreography vs. Orchestration is a good entry point into the subject.
		In fact there is so much overlap in our definition of orchestration and choreography that it only serves to confuse the market.
		The key distinction being that orchestration implies a goal and possibly many decisions to realize that goal whereas choreography represents an array of choices and the consequences of making those choices.

	Orchestration
		Several fine books on orchestration already exist: Rimsky-Korsakov’s aptly named "Principles of Orchestration" remains as valuable today as when it was published.
		Koechlin’s monumental work ("Traité de l'Orchestration") is in a class apart: In its four huge volumes, the author generously shares a lifetime’s experience as a master orchestrator and explores many subjects nowhere else to be found.
		The common conception of orchestration as simply assigning timbres to lines is very inadequate.

		Building orchestrations without traditional programming tools such as Java or C# will further reduce the overall effort of providing new services and service-based applications.
		The building blocks for a BPEL process are the descriptions of the parties participating in the process, the data that flows through the process and the activities performed during the execution of the process.

		If you are orchestrating a new symphony, you need to know current instrumental capabilities and practices, and the Forsythe book is now nearly 100 years old.
		There have been some changes in the capabilities of the instruments that are not reflected in the text, and of course it is missing all of the more modern and electronic instruments (this has the same unabridged text as the 1935 edition), but it's still very useful and well-written.
		I feel this book should be in the library of anyone serious about orchestration or composing for an orchestra.
