Arranging Music
  Wikipedia  |  "The American Federation of Musicians defines arranging as "the art of preparing and adapting an already written composition for presentation in other than its original form. An arrangement may include reharmonization, paraphrasing, and/or development of a composition, so that it fully represents the melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic structure" (Corozine 2002, p.3)"

Arranging a musical composition is an extremely important step in bringing it to life and giving it complete expressive potential. The way in which instruments are balanced, voiced and placed in time and the sonic realm gives each composition a style and personal voice. Using specific instruments entering and exiting at the right time is essential to reflect the vast array of emotions required in any given musical composition. It is also important to highlight the themes and counter themes with the right orchestration
