This course examines the use of the orchestra as a means to amplify and enhance musical ideas. Through the study of symphonic scores, students learn how to use the orchestra as an instrument that can provide color, depth, and volume to basic musical material. Final assignment consists of orchestrating a piano score for chamber orchestra that will receive a public performance at semester’s end.
