Excerpt from Thesaurus of Orchestral Devices N 0 one composer has ever exploited all the possibilities of the modern orchestra. More than any other phase of music, the art of orchestration has depended upon the combined imagination of practising composers everywhere. This Thesaurus is a compendium and store house of orchestral experience, especially of contemporary writers, as deduced from actual works. With a minimum of text and a maximum of example the author makes it possible for the music student and all others interested in orchestral craft to examine devices, from the most common to the most recondite, that may be found in the published scores of a wide variety of composers. No composer will ever want to use all the effects listed in this book. On the other hand, no composer is so universally adept as not to be able to profit from a perusal of the many illustrations exhibiting the ingenuity and coloristic imaginings of his colleagues. It is a comment upon the present state of musical achievement in our country that this Thesaurus of Orchestral Devices should have been conceived and executed by an American composer and teacher.
