Orchestra Arranging
by Robert Benson
: Full studio production music recordings for singers - orchestra accompaniments for your commercial CD; This service is for professional singers who need a professional recording. Some of my clients are singers who use these arrangements as accompaniment for their live shows in large corporate and club events, circumventing the cost of paying an entire orchestra of 28-40 musicians. I do the scoring and editing of the song you would like to have arranged. The orchestral arranging is done with the most meticulous attention given to every sonic moment. Through advanced computer technology, I use the voices of a real symphony orchestra to perform my arrangements. We record it on my equipment, and then burn the WAV file to a CD for playback on your system. If you are making a vocal CD, we then record your voice. I have limitless and seamless punch-in capability, as in any professional recording studio.; My charge for a full orchestra arrangement of 3 to 5 minutes, such as the examples below, is between $600.00-$900.00 (depending on length and complexity). Less complex arrangements will, of course, cost less.

Please call me if you have any questions - 773-857-7891: Examples of my arranging work (These are excerpts of orchestral accompaniments without the voice added.); Never-Never Land; Almost Like Being in Love; Time Heals Everything; Strange music; A Good Man is Hard to Find (less complex) coming soon; Paper arrangements for small orchestra to large orchestra or band; Entertainers who perform on cruise ships always need orchestra arrangements, if they plan on getting booked as a featured entertainer in the ship's main showrooms. Also, most corporate acts generally use small orchestra (10-12 musicians) arrangements. To write an orchestra arrangement for you, I charge by the instrumental part.; price: $70.00 per orchestral part; For example, a 3-5 minute small orchestra arrangement for 2 trumpets, trombone, 3 woodwinds, violins (one part), violas (one part), cello(s) (one part), piano, bass, drums (12 parts) will cost $840.00. This price includes a complete score plus all 12 separate parts. A vocal part is an additional $70.00.; A typical cruise ship-type arrangement of trumpet, trombone, alto & tenor sax, piano, bass & drums will cost approximately $490.00; A piano/vocal arrangement is $200.00 for a 3 minute or less song.
