Pete Anthony
MUCO 443
Pete’s class focuses on orchestration as it applies to working in film music today. Some of the coursework assignments include score reductions, a master class in writing for strings, orchestration for large chamber orchestra, plus analysis from some of the scores of James Newton Howard. The scoring assignments are recorded with live players on the Spielberg Scoring Stage.
MUCO 443 is another team-taught course in the SMPTV program. Both 443a (fall) and 443b (spring) are 15 weeks each. The overall structure changes from fall to spring. In the fall, Pete Anthony (orchestration), Steve Juliani (music preparation) and Christopher Young (composition) teach for 5 weeks each. In the spring, Pete Anthony and Brad Dechter cover orchestration for 11 weeks and Steve Juliani finishes out the final 4 weeks with another phase of music preparation.
