Michael Morangelli The Reel Score, LLC www.thereelscore.com 1 1 B ASICS Four Factors essential in construction of a good arrangement: Balance / Economy / Focus / Variety I BALANCE A. TONAL BALANCE 1 Proper distribution of tones 2 Achieves best possible sound with any combination of instruments B. FORMAL BALANCE 1 Melody • Should restrict to as few melodic ideas as possible Tune itself Arranger composition in contrast to tune B • Try to vary an already existing motif before injecting a new one B Provides unity Eliminates confusion B 2 Instrumentation B • Distribution of instrumental sounds has a great influence on formal balance • Leave room for development and surprise • Distribute instrument colors judiciously throughout the arrangements 3 Time • Length will make specific demands on all basic elements • Will (and should) have a profound effect on the formal balance of the score • Arranger should be aware of any time restrictions if present C. ECONOMY 1 Is the art of omitting anything from the score not absolutely necessary • Every note in an arrangement should be there for a purpose • Avoid sticking with only ‘tried and true’ to maintain a sense of experimentation • Always be prepared to cut something from the score if necessary 2 Sometimes Less is More Michael Morangelli The Reel Score, LLC www.thereelscore.com 2 D. FOCUS 3 Points within an arrangement where individual element is more important than any other • Human ear is capable of interpreting a given input and unconsciously assigning varying degrees of importance However improper focus can lead to confusion because of this capability B Causes listener to lose interest • Points of focus are never static – job of the arranger is to manipulate B these points • Improper recording can also cause a loss of focus E. VARIETY 1 Timbral • The art of maintaining listener interest through constantly changing instrumental combinations • Called tone color or timbral variety • Need to find best suit for your personality timbral variety Formal list of instrumental combinations Start score with sketch and fill in instrumentation later B 2 Harmonic B • Variation in harmonization that arrives at same resting place • Utilize harmonic substitutions Michael Morangelli The Reel Score, LLC www.thereelscore.com 3 2 W I IND NSTRUMENTS I BRASS A. EASIEST COMBINATION TO WRITE FOR 1 All Brass instruments blend well together in almost any combination 2 Tremendous power and dynamic flexibility in every register 3 Easy to record (with exception of French Horn) B. TRUMPET 1 Transposing instrument in Bb written a whole step higher than actual concert sound Michael Morangelli The Reel Score, LLC www.thereelscore.com 4 2 All Tpt players are capable of normal range • Only the very strong lead player is capable in extended range Specialists can go as high as B Tpt rarely called upon to play higher than normal range 3 As a separate section B • Sounds best in unison, octaves, or close position voicings 4 Can be effective played open or muted Special mutes • Common mutes must be Straight mute requested in Cup mute advance for a B Harmon mute recording B Felt had session B Plunger B • Special mutes B Solo tone Bucket B Buzz mute B Derby B B Michael Morangelli The Reel Score, LLC www.thereelscore.com 5 5 Mutes Derby Mute Plunger Mute Solo Tone Mute Bucket Mute Cup Mute Harmon Mute French Horn Tuba Straight Stopping Mute Mute French Horn Straight Mute Straight Mute • All mutes make the instrument quieter • Primary purpose is to alter the instruments tone color for effect • In improvised styles (Jazz), the player will often make decision about mute usage • In ‘concert’ music the use of mutes is notated specifying when to place and remove mute Must give ample time to either place or remove mute in the musical passage B Notated with ‘mute’ and ‘open’ or ‘con sordino’ and ‘senza sordino’ • Trombone mutes which require hand movement to open and close or to B hold in place on the instrument precludes certain note choices • Use of the triggers on trombone also restrict mute usage Michael Morangelli The Reel Score, LLC www.thereelscore.com 6 6 Articulation Full Value of note Short (staccato) Forceful attack on a down beat Forceful attack on an up beat Appoggiatura A short drop or fall off Rip or Lip Gliss which is a short undefined downward / upward thrust terminating on a notated pitched note Note intentionally played flat and scooped or bent up to pitch Forceful attack and given full note value Long Drop * Short & Long Drop are often used interchangeably so the desired effect should be clearly designated Michael Morangelli The Reel Score, LLC www.thereelscore.com
