The Technique of Orchestration and CD Recording Package Summary

The Technique of Orchestration and CD Recording Package by Kent Kennan

Designed primarily as a text for beginning orchestration courses, but includes material for advanced study and may serve as a reference.

As in the earlier editions, the emphasis is on the practical fundamentals of orchestration. The Sixth Edition has been expanded and revised to reflect new developments in instruments and orchestral practice, and a new listening compact disc has been added that contains selected examples of orchestration.
