BEND with the WOODWINDS! How to write for flute, oboe, clarinet and bassoon (SOLO + ensemble)
After Claire Wickes’ takeover, Alex Lamy picks up where she left off in her last video, diving deeper into the woodwind section of the orchestra. He offers important details to consider when composing for the flute, oboe, cor anglais, clarinet, and the bassoon. And after breezing into how to combine the woodwinds with other instruments, Alex arranges his piece “Robin on a Winter Morning” for a wind quintet—viewers of this channel might already be familiar with this melody from our Virtual Orchestration strings competition!
Virtual Orchestration is a collaboration between Berklee College of Music (Boston, USA) and Orchestral Tools (Berlin, Germany).
