Jim,
1. Band Scoring : Joseph Wagner : Pub. McGraw-Hill (This is my 'Bible' for band stuff)
2. Arranging For The Concert Band : Frank Erickson : Pub. Belwin-Mills
3. If it's already in printed piano accomp. I'd wager it's already been arranged by someone, somewhere.
Just out of interest (being a Euph player myself) what's the piece?
Jonathan I am trying to take the piano accompaniment for a euphonium solo and score it for band/wind ens. I know all the usual stuff about transpositions, ranges, etc., so I am not a total novice. Is there a reference scoring text for BAND only? Most of what I've been able to find is for orchestra with band as an afterthought. While I see the value of experiential learning, and have a large library of excellent samples, I would like to shorten the learning curve, since I may be able to play the piece in the not-so-distant future.
Advice, please?? ("All hope abandon" doesn't count)
Thanks, Jim W.
