๐ Get the book! Creative Orchestration by George Frederick McKay geni.us/BawBjz
This texture comes from George Frederick McKay's book Creative Orchestration. This is where the instruments of the orchestra are focused on solos, unisons, and octaves.
You can get a surprising amount of contrast, richness, and even power from an arrangement this simple. In the video I go over what the texture is, use the opening from Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade as an example, and then write my own orchestration of the theme from Breath of the Wild using only the Monophonic Texture.
