DID YOU KNOW ?
From the music textbooks .......
Arranging music should be seen as both an artistry and a craft.
In order to be able to arrange music the arranger should have complete knowledge of :
- the ranges of all instruments
- the sound of various registers of instruments
- the blend and balance of instruments as they are combined
An arranger should know "in his ear" how various instruments will sound individually and in combination.
The process of arranging requires creativity, musicality, musical experience and attention to details.

MHO
Smooth and easy going piece written by Cy Paine who clearly demonstrates his musical and composing creativity here.
The arrangement is superb with different instruments and sections playing the main melody alternately.
Great to hear the piano and flute(s) taking care of the listener's main auditive focus, whereafter brass and strings majestically take over. Enjoy !
