l

'.' ',~.: As a young arranger, I was always searching for same work char actually described the process involved in making orchestral arrangements. Many comprehensive

volumes have been written about harmony, theory, coun

terpoint, orchestration and composition, but to my knowl

edge. no book has ever been written which actually told

how to make an arrangement. If this book in any way

solves this problem Jor ambitious young arrangers it shall

have fulfilled the purpose for which it is intended.
