Amazed that this video on such an obscure topic has gone over 10 thousand views in two years! Of course, that's peanuts compared to your average cute animal video, but still...

Time for a remake, I think.

well, theres 2 parts music videos here on youtube named FREAKOLLO. what do you think about this guy's orchestration?

[OrchestrationOnline]

@stamstuff Haven't seen that channel. If he approaches me for advice and I have the time, then I will let him know. And if a general observation is in order, I will comment on his video.

Great channel, one of the best for musicians on youtube ! It would be great if you could share not only orchestration lessons, but also harmony.

[OrchestrationOnline]

@BleakAutumnMist I really appreciate your confidence in me as an instructor - but I'm getting too old to do anything except for what I'm good at! ;-) And that would be work, instead of the huge enjoyment I get out these orchestration videos. But look around, I think there are a few other channels on YouTube with harmony tutorials.

Hello Mr. Goss.

I am planning to study orchestration, beginning with study instrumentation. What book is, in your opinion, the best book to start in this matter? Is it worthwhile to study the manual Berlioz?

Greetings from Chile = D

[OrchestrationOnline]

Please see my segments on orchestration manuals, in which I discuss the topic at length. Berlioz is historically interesting, but outdated. Modern orchestrators should study Samuel Adler's book, with the Walter Piston as a backup.
