Download or read book Selected Orchestral Arrangements written by Theodore Thomas and published by A-R Editions, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-08-01 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection presents a selection of popular and historically significant arrangements by famed orchestral conductor Theodore Thomas (1835–1905). Thomas was among the most influential figures in the development of the American orchestra. Through approximately three decades of touring with his orchestra across the country, and in the process laying foundations for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Thomas left an indelible imprint on the American musical landscape. His arrangements were integral to his popularity with American audiences, who wanted accessibility in their music yet sought validation of their cultural sophistication. By presenting carefully chosen works of Europe’s most venerable composers in his arrangements, Thomas found a formula by which he could entertain his audiences while nevertheless encouraging their aspiration toward the status of high culture. These works span the entirety of Thomas’s career, from the less assuming (although wildly popular) early arrangement of Schumann’s “Träumerei” to the weighty mature arrangement of Chopin’s Polonaise, Op. 53.

Book excerpt: Orchestrating is a highly complex technique and to many, even those with academic training, a mystery fraught with a labyrinth of hazards. What is required, along with innate talent and general musicality, is the practical "know how." This is hard to achieve without actual professional experience and contact with "live" orchestras. To this end, John Cacavas contributes his extensive experience and ability with a practical approach to the practical problems of orchestrating. It is in this context most orchestrators must function, and to whom this book should be of benefit. The author has been a "musical activist" in all the varied aspects of instrumental combination from the "classical" to the "contemporary," and in the diverse application of his skills in all the media that utilize music and "orchestrations."
