Orchestration Services: From Sketch to Full Orchestra

Professional orchestrator for hire — for composers, songwriters, studios and orchestras

You have the music — a melody, a piano piece, a MIDI mock-up or a DAW sketch. I turn it into a full orchestral score that sounds rich, balanced and convincing, and that real musicians can play.

What orchestration means

Orchestration is the art of deciding which instruments play which notes: doublings, registers, colours, dynamics and articulations. The same piano chord can sound thin or majestic depending on how it is distributed across strings, winds and brass. That is the craft you are hiring.

Who it is for

  • Composers who write at the piano or in a DAW and need a professional orchestral score.
  • Film, TV and media composers preparing scores for live recording sessions.
  • Songwriters and artists who want a symphonic version of their song.
  • Orchestras and bands that need a piece adapted to their exact instrumentation.

What you receive

  • Full score in PDF, laid out for the conductor’s stand.
  • Individual parts in PDF, with cues, rehearsal marks and clean page turns.
  • Editable source file in Sibelius, Finale, Dorico or MuseScore (your choice).
  • MusicXML and MIDI so you can open the project in any notation software or DAW.

Price

Orchestration FAQ

What do I need to send for an orchestration?

A MIDI file, a piano or lead-sheet score, a DAW sketch or a demo with a score. If you only have an audio recording, I first transcribe it (see orchestral transcription) and then orchestrate it.

Which ensembles can you orchestrate for?

Full symphony orchestra, chamber and string orchestra, wind band, orchestra with choir or soloist, and hybrid orchestral/electronic set-ups. There is no limit on the number of instruments.

Will the orchestration be playable by a real orchestra?

Yes. As a conductor I write idiomatic parts with correct ranges, transpositions, bowings, breathing and cues, ready for rehearsal.

Can you adapt the difficulty for a youth or amateur orchestra?

Yes. Tell me the level of your players and I will adapt ranges, rhythms and divisi accordingly.

Do you also make the audio mockup?

Yes. A realistic orchestral mockup can be added as an extra when you order the orchestration, or ordered separately ($30 USD per 60 seconds).
