Behind the scenes of "Arvada Moreceau" (Band Version)

Here's a glimpse into the jewel of composing for me--the orchestrating! Here's the printout of my piano piece Arvada Morceau with a ton of handwritten stuff on it to shape the orchestration. I'd never tried this before and thought I would see how well it worked. I think it worked out very well, and I don't think this will be the last time I score my music this way.

Here they are:

Keep in mind that this was a very first draft of things...there's things I wrote in that blueprint that I didn't put into the piece, and there's a lot of stuff in the band version that wasn't written down at all in this blueprint.

Hope you all enjoy!
