music:orchestrator

The orchestrator takes a composition's settled pitches, harmonies, and rhythms and assigns them to specific instruments. From the composer's sketch or MIDI demo, the orchestrator writes the full performable score, choosing how each chord spreads across the players and marking every articulation, dynamic, and instruction they read. The composer hands over the sketch, and the orchestrator passes the finished score to the copyist, who pulls each instrument's part. The score is the orchestrator's own contribution, the thing that lets live players sound the music.
