Description
The Flexbo Package is the best way to have the advantage of orchestral writing while using a smaller ensemble. The foundation of a Broadway orchestration is the rhythm section: Piano, Bass and Drums. The remainder of the orchestra — woodwinds, brass and strings — are the melodic” parts added to provide richness, depth and tonal colour. The number of plays required for these added parts may be as few as nine and more often twenty to twenty-five. The four Flexbo parts — A, B, C and D — contain the essential musical lines heard from the “melodic” instruments in the full orchestration. While the best results will be achieved using all four Flexbo parts, they have been cued so that even fewer of them can be used.
1 x Flexbo A: Trumpet
1 x Flexbo B: Alto Saxophone, Clarinet &
