Exercise 6a:

Using the same woodwind phrase as in exercise 5, add parts for two horns, applying the principles of resonance.


Exercise 6b:

Using the same woodwind phrase as in exercise 5, re-orchestrate, adding parts for 4 horns, sharing resonance duties between different woodwind parts and the horns.

NOTE:
In exercise 6b, extreme care should be taken to create a smooth sense of linearity. The addition or removal of instruments should be done with great care to emphasize the dynamics of the phrase.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
