Music is organized sound.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000996371

Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000202012
If the rhythm or beat of the music changes with a live orchestra, you have to think on your feet. If you feel like you are not on your leg, you have to make a decision to make it look as though nothing is going wrong.

It may not seem this way at first, but your workplace is actually built on a well-ordered system of individuals and groups with defined stations of importance, all interacting to make your company run and appear busy.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001350979
The conductor of an orchestra doesn't make a sound. He depends, for his power, on his ability to make other people powerful.

Five coordinating mechanisms seem to explain the fundamental ways in which organizations coordinate their work: mutual adjustment, direct supervision, standardization of work processes, standardization of work outputs, and standardization of worker skills.

I went to study some orchestration stuff because I got so inspired working with all the orchestras.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001528931
It has to be able to play at the maximum expression and communication in every style, and the only way you can do that is - like Verdi said - working with a file, every day, little by little, until the orchestra's collective qualities emerge.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001319312
Let me say that I've never thought to conduct because the conductor has to think to the music before the orchestra. And the orchestra comes later. For me, it's terrible.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000146661
Not everybody gets to record with an orchestra, and not everybody that gets to record with an orchestra gets to write all their own stuff.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000065587
I've done shows with orchestras, and I like writing with orchestras.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001448398
I like to create the music I hear in my interior. As a conductor, you have the ability to squeeze the sounds and interpretation you asked for from 50 to 80 people.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001370907
When I first wrote for orchestra, I didn't realize, when you have 20 people playing a violin line, that is very different than one person playing that line.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000065137
Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001133398
Every work needs proper organization.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001816800
The improvisational nature of jazz musicianship is such that a truly competent performer must be prepared to function as an on-the-spot composer who is expected to contribute to the orchestration in progress, not simply to execute the score as it is written and rehearsed.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001383664
At a rehearsal I let the orchestra play as they like. At the concert I make them play as I like.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000481643
To lead the orchestra, you have to turn your back on the crowd.

plan, organize, integrate, motivate, and measure.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001228167
Order in a house ought to be like the machinery in opera, whose effect produces great pleasure, but whose ends must be hid.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001198399
The great secret is that an orchestra can actually play without a conductor at all. Of course, a great conductor will have a concept and will help them play together and unify them. But there are conductors that actually inhibit the players from playing with each other properly.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001102442
As the manager sits before a performance, as the critics wait like hungry dogs to rip apart the performance, they all become entwined in the theatrics of it all.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000957757
The most important thing for the conductor is that he or she listens. Her listening will make things sound a certain way. If the conductor listens well, the musicians listen each other better. The conductor can in effect impose a certain kind of listening for everybody.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001183235
Trying to coordinate everything, it can be really hard to balance.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001645603

Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000640398
The Woodshed Orchestra trade in exuberance and might, a glistening thunderslap on the hind of musical atrophy. These songs leap from disc to lap, a many-legged beast trundling with joy and vision.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000083505
I think it's a very important collaboration between the conductor and the orchestra - especially when the conductor is one more member of the orchestra in the way that you are leading, but also respecting, feeling and building the same way for all the players to understand the music.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000038173
When I am composing, the sounds are leading me to the way I want them to organize.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000888682
Order and creativity are complementary.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000738784
Musical 'fusion' projects have earned themselves a bad name, but that's mainly because they often involve pop artists conscripting orchestras to play unimaginative backdrops to their acts. What's really exciting is when you spark off a dialogue between very different musical forces.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001598588
In a ballet company, you're trying to create unison and uniform when you're in a cour de ballet.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000695019
A conductor can do wild things which can feel forced, but if you're directing from within the orchestra, you can't do that, things have to feel natural.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001289871
Sometimes, when you do the music for a play, there are very clear boundaries as to what needs to be achieved. You're very much a little cog in a much bigger machine.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001601022
You can find the whole world of a film in one instrument, or you can find a world of sound in the orchestra.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000861625
You can't play a symphony alone, it takes an orchestra to play it.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000418272
Conductors must give unmistakable and suggestive signals to the orchestra - not choreography to the audience.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001366459
Organizing is providing people with the opportunity to become aware of their own capabilities and potential.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000807910
I see a symphony - and sometimes a grand opera - of elements that can be coordinated and harmonized to create a fantastic and memorable experience.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000719663
But an innovation, to grow organically from within, has to be based on an intact tradition, so our idea is to bring together musicians who represent all these traditions, in workshops, festivals, and concerts, to see how we can connect with each other in music.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001026852
As a conductor I find the hardest tasks are to listen to the instinct of a musician and to hear the music behind the notes.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001306316
I think this orchestra's strengths involve drama and voice.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001520229
Organizations, by their very nature are designed to promote order and routine. They are inhospitable environments for innovation.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001010579
For me, I work very self-contained. It's literally just me sitting in a room doing it until the very end of the process when other musicians come in and instruments are recorded.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001519590
What an orchestra! They just sit there, but their minds are thousands of miles away with their bookies.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001188408
Every orchestra is different. Sometimes, you're blown away by a particular musician. If I'm playing the Brahms concerto, it's crucial to have a great oboe player, because we work in tandem.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001445237
I've learned a lot from the masters of orchestration, like Ravel and Stravinsky.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001155853
I always imagined that to bring an orchestra to play together is not enough for a conductor.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000343920
The red-jacketed band stirred to life. The first musician raised his trumpet. The trombone dipped. The drumstick rose. Lea lowered her clarinet. It had been Brent's idea not to have their insturments rise and fall in unison. The staggered motion gave it a more exciting rhythm.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000382558
At every moment, each instrument knew what to play. Its little bit. But none could see the whole thing like this, all at once, only its own part. Just like life. Each person was like a line of music, but nobody knew what the symphony sounded like. Only the conductor had the whole score.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000214958
I have my songs ready in my head, gather the guys, play it and then let them go with it. [The music] finds its way, we do what the music says to do ... the song is the producer.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000755730
You hear the same work by different orchestras, different conductors, violinists, pianists, singers, and slowly, the work reveals itself and begins to live deeper in you.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000854262
When there's a clear vision, and you've got the creative teams working toward that goal, each on their own, it can then come together quite elegantly at the endpoint.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000573287
The act of multitrack recording is the act of arranging.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000782470
I work in a giant building:
forty floors and forty cubicles
per wing, four wings per floor,
one person and one personal
computer per cubicle, a labyrinth
in which everyone's goal is to stay lost.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000663581
I did quite a lot of the arranging, fitting different sections together, tempo changes, all sorts of things like that. I actually acted as a bridge between Robert and Ian. Not so much composing, rather presenting musical ideas at each rehearsal.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000988853
I'm developing a record company. I'm learning how to supervise music on a film.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000520633
One advantage of hierarchical, process-laden organizations is that it's easy to figure out with whom you need to talk: Just look for the right box on the right chart, and you've got your person. But the steady state of a successful Internet Century venture is chaos.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001552861
I can write orchestrations, but I can't sight-read music and play at the same time. I don't have enough facility.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000068696
The musician writes for the orchestra what his inner voice sings to him; the painter rarely relies without disadvantage solely upon the images which his inner eye presents to him; nature gives him his forms, study governs his combinations of them.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000288678
Stop, collaborate and listen.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000646518
When I do an operation, it's half a dozen people. When it goes beautifully, it's like a symphony, with everybody playing their part.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001703557
When I want 30 musicians in the orchestra, I get 30.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000367314
You do your work as fully as you can, and the ones who hear the sound join in.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000608601
Order (self-organizat ion): Set aside time to plan how you will spend your time. Think about what's most important. Then do those things first.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001674864
Orchestrating a diversified team can indeed enhance the higher level of harmony.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000230410
Organization isn't about perfection; it's about efficiency, reducing stress and clutter, saving time and money and improving your overall quality of life.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001706965
An organizer is a leader who does not lead but gets behind the people and pushes.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001064981
Music - opera particularly - is a process which is endurable or successful only if it is achieved by people who love to collaborate.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001673946
One of the things I'm adamant about as a bandleader is not micromanaging. I'm an advocate for the concept of allowing everyone to be fully vested in what they're doing, so everyone contributes whatever they're inspired to contribute.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000517096
As a young pianist in Hollywood, I began orchestrating for others, and I just felt really comfortable doing that.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001593022
People must work in unison.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001366045
On conducting: If you can just barely hear the French horns on stage, the balance is perfect.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000679650
In this business, I don't know how you can have a plan or how you can orchestrate anything. But I've been lucky with my choices. I'm very strong-willed, so I've been able to stick with it. I'm lucky there.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001876695
The guitar is an orchestra in itself.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001573851
There will have to be times when I'm not conducting because I'm composing. I haven't solved that problem, and perhaps I never will.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000659459
These magic moments when rhythms and harmonies extend themselves and jell together and the people become another instrument. These things are priceless and they can't be learned; they can only be felt.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000322951
There's only one cook in the kitchen, only one chef. I let the soloists do their thing - you've gotta let a man do a solo the way he wants - but as far as picking the tunes and working on the arrangements, I take full responsibility for it.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000703149
In order to lead the orchestra, you must first turn your back to the crowd.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000209211
I do basically what a conductor does with a baton, except I also play along with the orchestra. So I have to juggle the roles of playing the concertmaster; sometimes I drop the violin and wave my arms.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001225642
To me, the piano in itself is an orchestra.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000109509
If you're playing live, I like to think of the ensemble, whether it's the duet or a forty piece orchestra, as one person. And the entire audience, whether it's twelve people or twelve thousand at Madison Square Garden, is the other person. The two of you are going to dance together tonight.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001749354
I worry about being a fogy and just writing for orchestras. Like, really, I should be doing more electronic stuff, I feel. Laptops as part of the orchestra, and installation sound, and speakers.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001712451
Choreography and creativity - it's my matrix; let's see where we can move.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001562967
My method is much like choreography. I don't sit at a table. I work in a room with people.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001640909
A choreographic idea flows only as fast as the initiator can communicate it to bodies and see them realize it.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001643669
Organisation - key to success.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001789755
You have to have that organizational principle behind the song.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001611864
A strategy is multi-dimensional planning, multi-team collaboration, and multitasking action.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001596618
There are three orchestras in Munich, all world-quality, in a city of one million. Yet every hall is full.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001284785
I see something that has to be done and I organize it.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001184793
You're telling the story, creating the sets, doing the lighting, the designing, and establishing the pace.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000598712
When it comes to orchestral music, whenever I see a concert with orchestra and strings, and I arrive and there are speakers up, my heart always sinks a little bit, and I think, 'It's going to be down to some sound guy's ideas.' Contact microphones on the violins. I'm a purist, I suppose.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001726746
Conductors are performers.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001376365
When I don't know what the music is going to be for a scene, I imagine some sort of orchestration going on and damned if they don't usually come up with a similar kind of thing.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 000806973
In getting good results team leaders become conductor rather than driver, enabling others to play the right music, not by hands-on domination of all decisions and execution, but by providing inspiration, motivation and stimulus.
Orchestrating Quotes : pic 001494349
Increasingly I think of myself as some strange and solitary conductor, introduced to a group of very dynamic musicians who happen to be my characters, and I have no idea how they are going to play together, and I have certainly no idea how I am going to put manners on them.
