The series Le son de l'orchestre - Renouvellement des techniques instrumentales (The sound of the orchestra - Renewal of instrumental techniques) presents current possibilities for the use of new instrumental techniques in the orchestra, and considers what they might be in the medium term. Proposed by Dominique Delahoche, in association with a group of top-level musicians, it is intended not only for composers, but also for performers, musicians and music lovers. The aim of this collection is to stimulate new ideas for orchestration.
The present booklet focuses on tubas.
How long can you hold a particular note? How high can you play the bass tuba? How fast can you detach? Readers will find answers to these fundamental questions, as well as detailed information on the most advanced playing modes.
Efficiency limits, possible combinations with other effects, difficulties faced by musicians, photographs... the techniques are presented in the most comprehensive way possible. Recorded sound examples allow you to immerse yourself in the tuba's multiple sonorities and finely differentiate their renderings.
Whether read for continuity or consulted for specific research, these notebooks are designed to meet the needs of composers who want to learn more about their instruments and ensure that their scores are produced for the orchestra.
