Difficult exercise this time.

Please refer to QcCowboy's orchestration masterclass for help in that part of this exercise.

Attached is a melody. The exercise: to create two different basslines (I.e., implying different harmonies) for this melody.
For each bassline & melody combination you now have (2), I want you to create a scoring.
Score one for a small string ensemble (string orch, string quartet, trio, anything). Score the other for small wind ensemble (quintet, quartet, etc.)

You will have to create other parts to fill out the harmony, and keep things interesting. You may wish to post when you have created your two basslines so that you don't orchestrate something which isn't as good as it could be.
If you post the basslines, post them WITH the melody - not just bass alone.

Have fun!
