\n<\/strong>TOPIC: MUSIC COMPOSITION CONT.
\n\t\t\t\t<\/strong><\/p>\n

Compositional instrumentation
\n<\/h2>\n

The task of adapting a composition for different\u00a0musical ensembles\u00a0is called\u00a0arranging\u00a0or\u00a0orchestration, may be undertaken by the composer or separately by an arranger based on the composer’s core composition. A composition may have multiple arrangements based on such factors as intended audience type and breadth, musical genre or stylistic treatment, recorded or live performance considerations, available musicians and instruments, commercial goals and economic constraints.\u00a0Based on such factors, composers, orchestrators and\/or arrangers must decide upon the instrumentation of the original work. In the 2010s, the\u00a0contemporary\u00a0composer can virtually write for almost any combination of instruments, ranging from a\u00a0string section, wind and brass sections used in standard\u00a0orchestras\u00a0to electronic instruments such as\u00a0synthesizers. Some common group settings include music for full\u00a0orchestra\u00a0(consisting of strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion),\u00a0concert band\u00a0(which consists of larger sections and greater diversity of woodwind, brass, and percussion instruments than are usually found in the orchestra), or a chamber group (a small number of instruments, but at least two). The composer may also choose to write for only one instrument, in which case this is called a\u00a0solo. Solos may be unaccompanied, as with works for solo piano or solo cello, or solos may be accompanied by another instrument or by an ensemble.
\nComposers are not limited to writing only for instruments, they may also decide to write for\u00a0voice\u00a0(including\u00a0choral\u00a0works, some symphonies (e.g.,\u00a0Beethoven’s ninth symphony,\u00a0operas, and\u00a0musicals). Composers can also write for\u00a0percussion instruments\u00a0or\u00a0electronic instruments. Alternatively, as is the case with\u00a0musique concr\u00e8te, the composer can work with many sounds often not associated with the creation of music, such as\u00a0typewriters,\u00a0sirens, and so forth.[citation needed<\/em>]<\/sup>\u00a0In\u00a0Elizabeth Swados’\u00a0Listening Out Loud<\/em>, she explains how a composer must know the full capabilities of each instrument and how they must complement each other, not compete. She gives an example of how in an earlier composition of hers, she had the tuba playing with the piccolo. This would clearly drown the piccolo out. Each instrument chosen to be in a piece must have a reason for being there that adds to what the composer is trying to convey within the work.<\/p>\n

Arranging
\n<\/h2>\n

Arranging is composition which employs prior material so as to comment upon it such as in\u00a0mash-ups\u00a0and various contemporary classical works.]<\/sup>\u00a0The process first requires\u00a0analysis\u00a0of existing music, and then rewriting (and often transcription) for an instrumentation other than that for which it was originally intended. It often (but not always) involves new supporting material injected by the arranger. Different versions of a composed piece of music is referred to as an\u00a0arrangement<\/em>.<\/sup><\/p>\n

Interpretation
\n<\/h2>\n

Even when music is notated relatively precisely, as in Western classical music from the 1750s onwards, there are many decisions that a performer and\/or conductor has to make, because notation does not specify all of the elements of musical performance. The process of deciding how to perform music that has been previously composed and notated is termed “interpretation”. Different performers’ or conductor’s interpretations of the same work of music can vary widely, in terms of the tempos that are chosen and the playing or singing style or\u00a0phrasing\u00a0of the melodies. Composers and songwriters who present their own music in a concert are interpreting their songs, just as much as those who perform the music of others. The standard body of choices and techniques present at a given time and a given place is referred to as\u00a0performance practice, whereas interpretation is generally used to mean the individual choices of a performer.[<\/sup>
