Just as a artist will paint a picture so can the heart paint a musical picture. With any training one can play the notes..of a song, but when one learns to paint a musical picture of the song using the notes of the heart, it becomes a picture in life. Using both the eyes and the ears, we teach children how to 'listen' and see, who music fills the ears of the heart when combined with the colours of music through the use of a variety of musical instruments. Orchestration is using the colours of tone and instruments to blend them together into a musical picture painted with the brushes of ones heart. During the years that I was a National Concert Artist for the Wurlitzer Company the music that I performed was arranged in a way that an artist paints a picture. Using different colors, shades, lines, strokes of the brush I liked to 'paint musical pictures in my arrangements.   Using different instruments in religious music, gospel, contempory, traditional music can be painted in a variety of ways, in such to 'paint a picture' of the theme of the song.  Tone Colour is what we use in orchestrating a song. Just look at Amazing Grace for example and how many ways this song has been 'painted'.  From bagpipes, guitar, panflute, harp, piano, placing instruments together into an arrangement is called orchestration.  ORCHESTRA.   Orchestration is the art of composing for an orchestra, always keeping in mind each instrument's potential and limitations. It is also the art of associating different tone colours, combining the timbres of various families of orchestral instruments to satisfy a particular musical logic that the composer strives for. It's like a musical panel discussion. By mapping out the general plan of when various instruments will come in, the composer makes sure that the flow of discussion is arranged or spread around in a way that gives the work all the colour and energy it needs. Orchestration is just as important in composition as is counterpoint, the fugue, or the study of musical forms. Its greatest contribution to music is expression--an essential component. Without orchestration composers couldn't shape the sound of the instruments and their effect, something unthinkable in any kind of music. "Colour" is a word used, among other things, as a means of comparison when discussing orchestration.   The art of writing for the orchestra. Decisions about what instruments should play which parts of the music can affect the sound of a composition a great deal.

"I'd say it's even more than that," says composer Denis Beauchamp, who is also general manager of Archambault's century-old downtown Montreal music store. "Orchestration is a composer's tool, in a way. It's as important as other musical tools, because this is the stage where particular facets of the work are brought to the fore. Orchestration helps differentiate the levels and priorities of musical perception. It's one among several basic elements used to enable musical discourse to take place."
