A good composer has to be able to wear many hats; that of an orchestrator, arranger, conductor, instrumentalist, and, of course a creator / inventor.
I finally had some time to pull my orchestration projects I prepared last year. It’s so much fun to play with the orchestral colors. I am enclosing a couple of pieces. Both, originally written for piano solo, now scored for full orchestra (woodwinds, brass, percussion, and strings).
