Music Arranging and Orchestration 管弦樂法

編曲是一項非常複雜的技術，對許多人來說，甚至對受過學術訓練的人來說，都是一個充滿迷宮般危險的謎。除了與生俱來的天賦和一般的音樂素養之外，還需要實際的知識。如果沒有實際的專業經驗和與現場管弦樂隊的接觸，就很難做到這一點。為此，約翰-卡卡瓦斯（John Cacavas）貢獻了他豐富的經驗和能力，以實用的方法解決配器的實際問題。大多數管弦樂演奏家都必須在這一背景下工作，本書對他們應該有所裨益。從古典到現代，作者一直是樂器組合各方面的音樂活動家，並將其技能廣泛應用於所有使用音樂和配器的媒體"

原文簡介:
Orchestrating is a highly complex technique and to many, even those with academic training, a mystery fraught with a labyrinth of hazards. What is required, along with innate talent and general musicality, is the practical "know how." This is hard to achieve without actual professional experience and contact with "live" orchestras. To this end, John Cacavas contributes his extensive experience and ability with a practical approach to the practical problems of orchestrating. It is in this context most orchestrators must function, and to whom this book should be of benefit. The author has been a "musical activist" in all the varied aspects of instrumental combination from the "classical" to the "contemporary," and in the diverse application of his skills in all the media that utilize music and "orchestrations."
