Garritan Free Interactive
Rimsky-Korsakov Orchestration Course
Even if you are only a listener and devotee of orchestral music, the
more you know about orchestration, the more you can enjoy and
understand what you're hearing. Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's genius
for orchestration is unsurpassed. "Principles of
Orchestration" is acknowledged to be
the essential, authoritative text on orchestration. Garritan
has condensed approximately 275
animated scores from Rimsky-Korsakov's book into 26 free lessons,
allowing participants not only to
see the scores online, but hear music as it follows the score. If you
choose to sign up, the
courses are supplemented by online discussion forums for each lesson,
providing participants an opportunity to learn from orchestration
experts, and share work examples with others.
