1. Principles of Orchestration (Dover Books on Music)
Author: by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov
Published at: Dover Publications; Revised ed. edition (June 1, 1964)
ISBN: 978-0486212661
“To orchestrate is to create, and this cannot be taught,” wrote Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov, the great Russian composer whose genius for brilliant, highly colored orchestration is unsurpassed. But invention, in all art, is closely allied to technique, and technique can be taught.
This book, therefore, which differs from most other texts on the subject because of its tremendous wealth of musical examples and its systematic arrangement of material according to each constituent of the orchestra, will undoubtedly be of value to any music student.
It is a music classic, perhaps the only book on classical orchestration written by a major composer. In it, the composer aims to provide the reader with the fundamental principles of modern orchestration from the standpoint of brilliance and imagination, and he devotes considerable space to the study of tonal resonance and orchestral combination.
In his course, he demonstrates such things as how to produce a good-sounding chord of certain tone-quality, uniformly distributed; how to detach a melody from its harmonic setting; correct progression of parts; and other similar problems. The first chapter is a general review of orchestral groups, with an instrument-by-instrument breakdown and material on such technical questions as fingering, range, emission of sound, etc.
2. Scheherazade (Dover Music Scores)
Author: by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov
Published at: Dover Publications; 35114th edition (October 1, 1984)
ISBN: 978-0486247342
It is one of the world’s most beloved symphonic compositions a shimmering, evocative musical treatment of the legend of Scheherazade. Composed in 1888 by Nikolay Rimsky-Koraskov (18441908), Russian master of orchestration and luminous tone-painting, Scheherazade re-creates the legend of the Sultan Schahriar, who, convinced of the perfidy and faithlessness of women, vowed to execute each of his wives after the first night.
But the Sultana Scheherazade saved her life by telling the Sultan fascinating stories for 1001 nights, staving off her demise by keeping the sanguinary ruler in a state of suspense over the outcome of the tales she told. Considered a masterpiece of “program” music, Scheherazade is imbued with exotic Near Eastern moods and the subtle flavor of Russian folk music.
The musical “Program” contains four parts: I. The sea and Sinbad’s shipII. The story of the prince-kalandarIII. The young prince and the princessIV. Festival in Baghdad.The sea. The ship breaks up against a cliff surmounted by a bronze horseman.Conclusion.
3. Orchestration (Dover Books on Music)
Author: by Cecil Forsyth
Published at: Dover Publications; Revised ed. edition (October 1, 1982)
ISBN: 978-0486243832
“For its time the most comprehensive treatment of the subject.” New Grove Dictionary of Music and MusiciansBefore the 17th century, composers seldom indicated in their music whether the composition was to be performed by a particular combination of voices or instruments.
Then in 1607 Monteverdi made a well-known suggestion for the orchestration of his opera Orfeo. And as the Baroque era unfolded, the concept of orchestrations began to evolve, achieving a notable clarity and the acceptance of a keyboard instrument as an integral part of the ensemble.
Toward the middle of the 18th century, stylistic changes in instrumental music, e.G. Styles that emphasized a single melodic line, directly affected methods of orchestration; while in the 19th century, orchestrations became an ever more vital factor in the composer’s technique, a stylistic determinant that places a wealth of possibilities at his disposal.
Finally, in the early 18th century, increasing awareness of the importance of internal balance, certain ideals of blended sound, and firmly established instrumental characteristics enabled orchestration to take its place as an academic discipline beside harmony and counterpoint. In this classic manual, a noted English composer describes 57 orchestral instruments (ca.
4. A Night on Bald Mountain in Full Score (Dover Music Scores)
Author: by Modest Moussorgsky
Published at: Dover Publications (August 9, 1999)
ISBN: 978-0486408576
Widely considered the most important of the Russian nationalist composers, Modest Petrovich Moussorgsky (18391881) finished relatively few works in the course of his tragically short life. Nevertheless, his unorthodox techniques and their dramatically intense effects made a considerable impression on later composers.
A Night on Bald Mountain, a brilliant example of Moussorgsky’s unique sense of theatrical effect, was completed and orchestrated by Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov after the composer’s death. Full of dramatic fire, the piece has long been a staple of the orchestral repertoire.
It is perhaps best known to the general public as the memorable accompaniment to the Witches’ Sabbath sequence of Disney’s Fantasia. Now this enduringly popular work, carefully reproduced from an authoritative early score, appears here in a handsome, inexpensive edition sure to delight musicians and music lovers.
