  1. Williams's orchestrators do more than copy. Sometimes Williams will write a part as vague as "for winds," and it's up to the orchestrators to determine which instruments (flutes, clarinets, oboes, etc.?) should play the part and how many. Of course, working repeatedly for Williams whittles down these choices a lot, as one gets accustomed to his styles of orchestration and learns what is acceptable.

    Or, in other words, Williams writes for fifteen or twenty voices, and his orchestrators expand that to an orchestral seventy or eighty voices; his orchestrators cover the intricacies of polyphony.

    thank you, i've been trying to figure that out for ages!

  2. So i've been studying JW's music and scores for a while now and i've been trying to figure out how the man composes. I've been analyzing how he develops his melodies and chord progression. Has anybody got further than me in figuring out how he makes his music so distinct and dramatic. I would like to hear what other people have come up with.

  3. It's called manuscript paper. I have a 12"x18" 26 staff notebook distributed by Hal Leonard under "Carla." You can find it online though.

    Lots of places have printable manuscript paper. Just go look around for it. I had a hard time finding it too until I found out the proper name.

    how does the 26 staff look, does it have barlines? Is that the best you've found because i think ima get it.

  5. Classical music is overrated.

    I agree.

    I third that...

    I perfer film score music over Classical music any day.

    I also hate when people refer Film Score music as Classical music... I always gotta remind people that they're completely different types of music...

    im with you on that but im saying classical music is overated, IS overated. it is the foundation of film scores.

  6. Brahms is overrated

    Classical music is overrated.

    alot of my friends say that but i think diffrently. i listen to classical to get immersed in it. like, the is sooo much more to classical music than just notes. There was a reason the composer wrote it down and shared with the world. For example, me being a cello player my favorite cello concerto's are Dvorak and Saint-Saens. and both of them of an interesting story. Saint-Saens did't like the cello one bit because he thought it was too "restricting" compared to the violin and so he wrote just as an ehh piece, thinking that no one could play it well. but a cellist of the time thought otherwise and show saint-saens that it was playable and a great piece. So in reture saint-saen wrote his 2nd concerto, very much harder basically sayin F*** You lol. And the ending of the last movement of the Dvorak concerto was changed due to his sister-in-law passing away. she was a violist so he added a solo violin accompanying the cello. babble babble babble. But my favorite orchestal piece is Ma Vlast. we all know the story to that one, the music explains it all.
