MUSIC ARRANGING AND ORCHESTRATION
INTRODUCTION by Morton Gould
Orchestrating is a highly
complex technique and to many, even those with
academic training, a mystery fraught with a labyrinth of hazards. What is required, alone with innate talent
and general musicality, is the practical "know how". This is hard to achieve with actual
professional experience and contact with 'live' orchestras. To this end, John Cacavas
contributes his extensive experience and ability with a practical approach to
the practical problems of orchstrating. It is in this contect
most orchestrators must function, and to who this
book should be of benefit. The author
has been a "musical activist" in all the varied aspects of
instrumental combination from the "classical" to the
"contemporary", and in the diverse applications of his skills in all
the media that utlilze music and
"orchestrations". He knows the
musical scene, and its requirements, and I commend his craft and knowledge to
your attention.
