ChrisAfonso 186 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 ...Well, not really a contest... more an experiment Inspired by the everlasting question "How complete are composer's sketches?/How much does an orchestrator do?", I propose the following: Everyone here who'd like to, orchestrate the following sample:http://www.chrisafonso.de/music/sketch/sketch_001.jpghttp://www.chrisafonso.de/music/sketch/sketch_002.jpg(JPEG images)http://www.chrisafonso.de/music/sketch/sketch.htm(Sibelius file)I tried to use the little I know of Williams' sketches as a reference for the formatting.Then when some people have done an orchestration, we compare the results (and looks who's closest to the composer's intention, i.e. my own orchestration )Chris, curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photo17nz 0 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I could have a go at orchestrating it in a few days time... I take it is a Sibelius file.John Williams sketches are similar but he uses 8 staves + 1 line for percussion. (- at least on his Superman scores and I heard that he uses 8 staffs for Harry Potter), as well so he can be slightly more detailed about the instrumental line.

ChrisAfonso 186 Posted February 22, 2005 Author Share Posted February 22, 2005 Yes, of course it's possible to use more staves I made mine based on the format of the Star Wars Main Title sketch, part of which was printed in a Star Wars magazine a few years back, that one had 4 staves.
