I turn to this list often for Finale therapy; this time I’d like to pick your
brains about the music itself.
I’m on a lifelong quest to become a better orchestrator. For classical
orchestration the path is fairly clear, with a host of orchestration books and
scores/recordings available for study. In the world of pop, jazz, and rock
orchestration the path is less traveled. There are many examples—The Beatles,
Chet Baker & Strings, Sufjan Stevens, etc—but to my knowledge no source for
score study and only a handful of jazz/pop orchestration treatises.
I know many of you are fine orchestrators in a variety of idioms or engrave
music for exceptional arrangers. I would love any leads you can provide:
stellar examples of orchestrated pop/jazz/rock, sources for scores, books
you’ve found valuable, websites of particular arrangers, or general pearls of
wisdom.
If you’re interested in hearing some of what I’ve composed, take a listen to
the St. Sinner Orchestra, which is a hybrid of band and string orchestra:

Thanks so much for entertaining my rabbit trail!
Peace,
Greg
