Multimedia Orchestration

 


 

 

 

 

 

Newly Designed and Updated for 2012.

 

 

Tristan Multimedia Orchestration 2012

DVD-ROM for Mac / Windows

 

Tristan Multimedia Orchestration I software is a complete seminar and reference encyclopedia on writing for the instruments of the orchestra for students and professionals of orchestration and composition. The DVD-ROM runs on Mac or Windows computers (please see system requirements).

The 2012 version is newly designed and updated.

 

Multimedia Orchestration educates and inspires students and composers through in-depth video demonstrations of all the major orchestral instruments, represented by the four families: Strings, Woodwinds, Brass, and Percussion.

 

The program provides a clear overview of the fundamentals, special effects, and nuances of the major instruments, using interactive multimedia technology, so students can learn to write idiomatic compositions and orchestrations.

 

This interactive seminar incorporates:

 

  • videos of expert musicians with exact notation scrolling underneath.
  • in-depth explanations and illustrations of the range, scope, and breadth of each instrument.
  • extensive demonstrations include basic examples to outstanding excerpts from the orchestral repertoire
  • a comprehensive study of each instrument including: construction, ranges, basic techniques, articulations, special effects, and harmonics.
  • additional techniques and features for certain instrument familes such as double-stops for String instruments and mutes for Brass instruments.
    :

New Features for 2012:

** Newly designed layout for easier and more comprehensive learning.

** Important terms specific to orchestration are clickable within text and clearly defined in new Definitions Box.

** More extensive graphics and illustrations to aid in full comprehension of important concepts.

 

The ultimate goal of the program is to empower students to apply the many techniques of the instruments to one's own compostion and orchestration work.

 

Beyond the classroom, Multimedia Orchestration can help more experienced composers and orchestrators write correctly and idiomatically for the instruments. The program can also inspire composers to apply the various special effects, articulations, and other techniques to attain high caliber compositions. Ultimately, by applying the knowledge gained in Multimedia Orchestration, composers' musical compositions can come alive in the concert hall.

 

 

 

Extensive Examples from the Orchestral Repertoire:

 

Our musicians perform essential excerpts from the orchestral repertoire that highlight specific techniques of the instruments by master composers including: Bach, Tartini, Mozart, Beethoven, Paganini, Berlioz, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Wagner, Rimsky-Korsakov, Debussy, Ravel, Mahler, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, and many others.
