I studied a specific part of the orchestration analysis from yesterday : how the harmony is written for the orchestra. What I learned :
- To achieve better balance of the chords, some voices can be lowered (by an octave).
- Melodic motion is always privileged, especially if it doubles the main melody.
- Clarinets, Horns and Bassoon are perfect for harmonic purpose.
- It remains very similar to the 4 or 5 part harmonisation that we learn in school.
