 The
Study of Orchestration by Samuel Adler
The
third edition of this high successful orchestration text
follows the approach established in its innovative predecessor:
Learning orchestration is best achieved through familiarity
with the orchestral literature; this familiarity is most
effectively accomplished from the music notation in combination
with the recorded sound. The text has been revised to reflect
the most informed reactions to the first and second editions,
as well as Professor Adler's revisions. For comprehensiveness,
conciseness, and contemporaneity, The Study of Orchestration
remains without peer.
Samuel
Adler is head of the Composition Department at the Eastman
School of Music of the University of Rochester, where he
has been teaching since 1966. A composer of considerable
repute, he is a frequent guest lecturing at campuses throughout
the country. He is the author of Sight-Singing, also
published by Norton. (Amazon.com)
