Extreme Scoring

Extreme Scoring: Full symphony orchestra works that have been rescored for chamber orchestra

Extreme Scoring calls for expanding the reach of the classical music canon by rescoring some of the great symphony orchestra repertory for chamber orchestra and proves the viability of this process by presenting three masterworks from the German, French, and Russian schools, representing almost 1000 pages of scores and parts.  Extreme Scoring documents the methodologies and modalities developed for achieving this rescoring process.
