Music Engraving

The preparation of a musical score can make or break a production or rehearsal. Therefore, it is imperative that the score be laid out in a clean and concise manner so that it reads down clearly every time. Whether it be simply a piano-vocal score or full score with parts, you can count on clean, error-free copying completed in a timely manner.

Examples of work:

• Art song – engraving of piano reduction from full score

• Purcell Sonata in D for trumpet and organ – new arrangement for trumpet and organ manuals

Transposition and Transcription

Existing materials often need to be tweaked to better fit a vocalist’s range. The transposition service provides quick and easy key changes, incorporating cuts or additional markings that might be needed.

Examples of work:

• “Cortina de fullatge” – art song transposition

• “If I Didn’t Believe In You” – musical theater transposition

• “Words Fail” – musical theater transcription (full ensemble)

 Arranging and Orchestration

In situations where a composer might only give a sketch of a song, arrangements can fill in the rest, elevating the dramatic and emotional impact of a composition. If these arrangements or other materials need to be expanded upon for a larger ensemble, top-tier and innovative orchestrations can be added following the size and specifications of the composer. These orchestrations can follow a wide range of styles, from classical-inspired Golden Age orchestras to the programming-intensive rock groups that are more and more prominent on Broadway.

Examples of work:

• “This Too Shall Pass” – arrangement

• “Diff’rent” – arrangement/orchestration

• “Sad, Sad, Sad” – orchestration (see video)

• “You’d Have Loved It Here” – orchestration

Accompaniment Tracks

In these changing times for theater, the concept of live performance is being redefined. More than ever, it is crucial that individuals and organizations have access to high-quality, custom-made accompaniment tracks for any musical event or performance. These accompaniment tracks can range in scale from just a piano to a small-group section, all the way up to full orchestral MIDI mockups. Depending on the project, recordings of live musicians may be added to increase the quality of production on each recording. Every track is fully customizable for tempo, song key, and repeats.

Examples of work:

• “Pulled” (The Addams Family)

• “Waving Through A Window (Dear Evan Hansen)

• “As If We Never Said Goodbye” (Sunset Boulevard)

• “Here I Am” (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels)

• “This Is The Moment” (Jekyll & Hyde)
