October 4, 200817 yr Does anyone know if there are orchestrations of Widor's Organ Symphonies? I'm doing a version of the 5th symphony. Are there any that I can compare against?
October 4, 200817 yr I have no clue. But if there are, I'd recommend only looking at them when you're completely finished with yours. Otherwise it may be difficult to find your own solutions if you get too influenced by the other orchestration. It's very easy to get a specific orchestration stuck in ones head and from then on one passage "just sounds like that" for you. I noticed that when our orchestration class did a new orchestration of Pictures at an Exhibition (extremely original idea, I know). At times it was hard to get the Ravel out of your mind.
