MUCO 443b

Students learn the craft of orchestration through score analysis, MIDI transcriptions, and turning sketches into full scores. These assignments are critiqued in class to provide immediate feedback to all of the students. All materials are drawn from a long list of Hollywood film scores from James Newton Howard, Alan Silvestri, John Debney, Marco Beltrami, Marc Shaiman and many others.

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.
