Quote:There must be times though, when you need to indicate on a short score how many violins will play a particular passage.
Quote:But perhaps a composer wanting to scale up for a concert or album might actually prefer to rewrite a whole piece if the effect will be so different.

Quote:I think people like John Morgan often have to build up reconstructions from just three or five line scores, and one has the impression from their notes on CDs it can be a tough task.

The A&R person needs to know how many violinists to hire and the copyist needs to know how many copies are needed. That information can go a different route. A standalone orchestrator does not need to know the number of players. That detail can be decided or filled in later.56 pieces, or 70, or 20, for that matter. As already said, you don't orchestrate for 70 musicians if a score will only have 56 available.

Quote:There are three versions of the 'Caesar Now Be Still' march. Where did the Silva/Varese concert version come from? Did Rozsa feel the need to revise it yet again, or was this (or the Herrmann) a Palmer adaptation?

Quote:The liner notes for Silva's Essential Rozsa CD set credits Daniel Robbins for the arrangement & orchestration of this piece.

Quote:the unused ethnic instrumental "Dance" is different to the other dances and doesn't fit the score. Doesn't sound as if Rozsa had anything to do with the cue either.
