NEW! ONLINE ORCHESTRATION COURSE on UDEMY.COM
Dr. Piet J.Swerts has developed
a new online course in orchestration upon the Udemy platform. Enroll now, link
below with extra coupon code until 18.04.23!
We have organized this
course very transparently in the main orchestration procedures with well-known
excerpts from Western music-literature but also related to own compositions.
Therefore, we have divided the entirety of the course into five major parts.
Each part will be dedicated to exactly one of the five archetypes of
orchestration. Each part will thus contain 12 lessons focused on that
particular aspect. The whole course will cover at least 60 examples carefully
discussed and analyzed. The assignments are directly related to these
fragments. All relevant aspects and techniques will be covered in detail,
offering you the opportunity to try everything out for yourself to gain
efficient insight and become a true professional. Worksheets and reductions has
been elaborated, solutions provided, but also applications into one’s own
contemporary practice illustrate the relevance of traditional orchestral
principles into modern classical music compositions. By imitating and emulating
the masters, you will become by time a master yourself. We have carefully
selected excerpts in different styles, from Mozart, Beethoven, Grieg, Holst,
Bizet, Debussy, Stravinsky, Bartok and myself. In the downloadable resources
are 95 items provided: the whole spoken commentaries in English are completely
written out and can be downloaded to gain more understanding of each lesson. We
are truly convinced that this method of working, copying, imitating, emulating
the masters, which has already often proven in the past that this was the
method to learn craftsmanship, will help you further develop as an artist.
