Chamber Orchestrations by

BRUCE ROCKWELL

www.ecspublishing.com

Instrumentation of Version for Reduced Orchestra Flute Oboe (optional) Clarinet (in BK and A) Bassoon (optional) Horn Harp Piano (substitute for Harp) Violin I Violin II Viola Violoncello Contrabass Strings (minimum 1-1-1-1-1)

Notes on the Instrumentation This chamber orchestration was carefully written for a ďŹ&#x201A;exible instrumentation, allowing for different performance situations. Strings may be performed one on a part, or with more players as may be appropriate to the venue. The arrangement may be performed using a piano if a harp is not available, and the oboe and bassoon parts are both optional. When performing without either or both of the double reeds, the players must be directed to play all cues for any absent instruments. These obligatory cues are shown in the conductor score for reference. There are also some ossia staves that need to be played in absence of an instrument. Standard cues to bring players in after long rests should not be played; according to convention these types of cues do not appear in the conductor score. All string parts should be played nondivisi. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Bruce Rockwell
