In May 2006 Create Digital Music Site wrote a post on the free online orchestration source Principles of Orchestration.  This was originally a work written by the Romantic composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (known for Flight of the Bumblebee or Scheherazade) and published posthumously in 1922.  It has now been turned into a flash, interactive course with audio samples derived from the Garritan Personal Orchestra suite.  The score examples, combined with the audio samples really bring his orchestration approach ‘to life.’

Imagine the possibilities for Music extension or composition classes.  Not to mention simple year 7 programs on instruments of the orchestra or creating excellent music examinations with the examples provided!

“Whether you’re composing for real orchestrations, scoring films or games, teaching, or just learning more about how the orchestra works, there’s never a time when you stop learning about orchestration. That’s why a new free, online version of a classic Russian orchestration guide, complete with new interactive examples, is good news.”  – Create Digital Music
