MUSC 526 Acoustic/Hybrid Orchestration

The course continues the orchestration course sequence by looking at traditional symphonic orchestration, with emphasis on the special techniques and habits in regards to notation, score/part layout and orchestration techniques that were developed in Hollywood as part of the scoring process in order to get the best possible take with no rehearsal time. After exploring traditional symphonic instruments and other acoustic instruments commonly used in modern media music, the lessons of acoustic and electronic orchestration are combined in the study and emulation of various acoustic/electronic hybrid styles. The orchestration course sequence also prepares students for the recording sessions in the second year of the MFA program.
