John Cage? How about that one piece of his where he just sits at the piano for a few minutes and plays nothing. That took some real thought.ootini wrote:I hope I'm not about to get laughed off this forum, but in no particular order:

Re: Favorite Orchestrators and Orchestrations
Some of Cage's stuff is quite good I think.
I'll add Philip Glass to that list too.

Re: Favorite Orchestrators and Orchestrations
Here's an interesting one. A clever arrangement by Juliette Greco, centered around one note and one word - Si (yes) - Note that the instrument is never the same , nor her pronunciation of the word. The French kill me with their charm.

Re: Favorite Orchestrators and Orchestrations
Why all the John Cage hate? - I happen to think his song Silence was an extraordinary statement.
This is more on the Cage side of music, but this is a pretty interesting orchestration:

Re: Favorite Orchestrators and Orchestrations
Happy Birthday Antonio Carlos Jobim! While not an orchestrator per se, if you know his work you can hear in a lot of his accompaniments the lines that would then be taken by great arrangers such as Claus Ogerman and Eumir Deodato and fully orchestrated.
Really love Claus Ogerman's work with Jobim and his voicings are amazing.
My favourite song, probably of all time, love the string voicings in this version
although the version of Jobim and Elis Regina is joyous.

Re: Favorite Orchestrators and Orchestrations
Liked it. But I don't hate Cage, I just thought he was an amusing example of an orchestrator, cuz composing and orchestrating require a lot of ego. And Cage is all about chance ... well, chance and mushroomscowtothesky wrote:Why all the John Cage hate? - I happen to think his song Silence was an extraordinary statement.

I like modern music, but the conceptual stuff is kind of only interesting the first time you hear it (or not It's really just intellectual - unless you're with a hot babe.
Wow! Re: Jobim, I just posted a beautiful samba version of Over the Rainbow.
What about the lowly arranger
