This downloadable MP3 audio package contains the full works or movements (over 12 hours worth), licensed from eClassical.com, covering approximately 70% of the musical works quoted in the book Professional Orchestration Volume 1: Solo Instruments & Instrumentation Notes (not all pieces are currently available from eClassical). You also get a PDF spreadsheet of timings that match the examples in the book to the MP3 audio tracks.
Why so much music?
Well, it all has to do with the teaching philosophy behind Professional Orchestration. Listening to a snippet that’s only a few seconds long is, on one hand, very efficient. But how does that example fit into the whole score? What’s the dramatic impact when you hear it? How did the composer set up the example? And how did he exit? These are all questions professionals ask when they study a typical orchestration text. With Professional Orchestration you get the complete symphonic movement the example is found in. So, not only do you hear the example, you hear its place and dramatic impact in the work - something every film/TV composer not only wants to know, but must know if their writing is to be effective.
All MP3s from eClassical are Digital Rights Management-free (DRM-free), which means you can play them on any device that can read MP3s.
