For those of you who would like to strengthen your grade ;-).....

Please orchestrate the opening 16 bars of Debussy's Valse Romantique as follows:

 

You have a limited budget but need a full orchestra including winds, brass, percussion and strings. The orchestra manager has suggested an orchestra configuration that contains 10 1st violins. You have 1 timpani and 2 percussionists

You must orchestrate these measures such that you use all of the instruments at least once. That means you will have to double instruments with other instruments. As well, you may transpose any section of music or musical line up or down one octave.

In order to receive credit you must submit a pdf of your score and an mp3 of the playback of the orchestration. Make sure your score is complete with dynamic markings, articulations and all necessary slurs and bow markings.

The pdf and mp3 should be uploaded to

Canvas

Your submission must be emailed by 9AM  on the posted date of the final Late submission will not be accepted.
