A Library Symposium on Orchestrators and Orchestrations

摘要

When we think of musicals such as "West Side Story," "The Sound of Music" or "My Fair Lady," we are reminded of Tony crooning "Maria," another Maria rapturously singing the title-tune "The Sound of Music," or Eliza Doolittle claiming "I Could Have Danced All Night." The melodies and words roll by, but the colors of the instruments playing them, the haunting high string lines, the countermelo-dies and embellishments in the flutes and clarinets, or the dramatic chords by the trumpets are all the works of the orchestrators.
