That's quite a specific list of instruments, got a massive project in the works?

It's not that challenging to use google.

@Dm Yeah man, Im gonna try my hand
at orhestral composition,looks like alot of fun. Those
are the instruments I like to hear when I listen to classical.

@btimm I know its not,Id just thought Id ask here.
No harm no foul.

You don't like piano? Interesting and very punk.

Lol man,I like piano,but I already know alot aboot
le pianni.

Why not just do a little research yourself before asking a question that takes 5 seconds to answer yourself? Seems pretty lazy.

Ok, lets not start an argument over this.
thank you,
Phip

@phip *sigh*..

@btimm Sorry... /:
Anyway,Its just a really big hassle to use google on my smart
phone(Even though I owe you no explaination). Im free to ask
any question On this forum,without unsolicted negativity,or atleast I should be.

gshred: if you compose everything on the stave, you can slide into an instrument (i.e. contra-bass vs. tenor (sax for example)) without feeling constrained by the ranges of your current favorite instruments.

Good Info Tsb. I just wanted to know some basics.

I'm interested on which orchestral tunes you've heard that use a saxophone, I can't think of many uses except for I think some Debussy and definitely Gershwin.

Also if I were you I'd stick a cello in there.

Here's the principles of orchestration by Korsakov (flight of the bumblebee etc) it's all 26 lessons from his book and it has footnotes by a professor of music stating instances where a composer had done something that Korsakov had wrote shouldn't or couldn't be done making it nice and balance.

I wanted to try something orignal. Saxaphone
is on of my favorite instruments, and I have A large
jazz influence in my playing,so sax was an obvious choice

Cello's are good for making things sound a bit bigger.
Ill have to see if its needed.

And that is an awsome link man,thanks.

Wow, that's a cool link, DanielM!

Fair enough. I will refrain from any comments that might be somehow taken out of context in the future.
