    VISUAL ORCHESTRATION #1

    SPECTROTONE COURSE

    Lecture 4
    Listening Guide
    I've selected 6 pieces, 4 from the movies, to illustrate the points of this lesson. Hopefully you
    have these in your soundtrack collection. If you don't, for your convenience I've researched and
    found each on YouTube and have included an alternate performance for some. If you don't have
    these, please look to purchase (or stream) legal MP3s from iTunes, Amazon or similar music
    retailers.

    To get the MOST out of this lecture, listen to each piece before you watch Video Lecture 4.

    Four Sea Interludes: 1. Dawn - by Benjamin Britten


    Depending on the performance, you will either hear the flutes or they will be absorbed by
    the strings.

    Lecture 4 Reference PDFs


    In Video Lecture 4, you were referred to two PDF documents in addition to using the
    Spectrotone Chart. Hereʼs where to find them:

    The Span of Orchestration Ensemble Tone Colors PDF can be found in your Lecture 4
    folder for this Visual Orchestration #1 course.

    The Span of Orchestration Chart is included with the Spectrotone Instrumental Tone-Color
    Chart files. Look for the PDF labeled 01_WorkingWithSpectrotoneChart.pdf. The Span of
    Orchestration Chart is on page 12 of that booklet.

    Percy Goetschius

    Goetschius is no longer available as a free digitized edition from Books.Google.com.

    It is, however, available to view online at the Hathi Trust Digital Library in several editions.
    Hereʼs a link to the 14th Edition of the book, which was originally published in 1913. At the link
