Orchestration
Haven't you ever wished to perform a particular piece of music, but it seems impossible because it requires a huge orchestra? It was my dilemma for a long time, and now I have found my solution- "Reorchestration." These are not a "reduction" of the original music; I carefully reorchestrated them to create the best sonority and balance. And best of all, they require just 15 orchestra players or fewer.
Bach: The Art of the Fugue
Bach: Toccata and Fugue
Mahler: Lieder eines Fahrenden Gesellen
Rachmaninoff: Vocalise
Strauss: Ariadne auf Naxos (complete opera)
You can purchase the parts and the score (electronic copy) in my shop.
