Have you a more-or-less normally constituted orchestra? Have you found it difficult to find sets of orchestral parts to suit your exact instrumentation? Do these parts allow for the varying standards of your players?

My CUSTOMSCORES can overcome the problem!

Many school orchestra conductors have two main problems:

· In the woodwind section for example, an imbalance of flutes and clarinets to oboes and bassoons

· A wide range of ability in a section e.g. a few Grade 7-8 violins, thereafter keen 5-6s, or one outstanding first flute or clarinet with much-less-confident seconds/thirds

Of course, I can, if you wish, provide with an arrangement for this combination but so could you! CUSTOMSCORES are designed for those who wish to play substantial, professionally orchestrated pieces by composers such as Brahms, Tchaikovsky or Schumann.
For CUSTOMSCORES, I use nineteenth and early twentieth century music a) so that there is no copyright problem and b) because the harmonic style allows the use of as full an orchestra as possible without becoming stylistically unmusical - who wants to play Vivaldi with four horns, three trombones and full percussion!
Many of you would be able to make your own such arrangements but find that there is not the time to carry out the lengthy procedure. (Teachers today fill in an average of 35 forms per week as well as trying to teach!) With CUSTOMSCORES, you choose your piece from my catalogue, supply the individual customizing you require and await delivery a clearly printed, bound, full score and a set of parts complete with bar numbers, rehearsal letters and laid out with easy page-turning: in short, a fully professionally produced set of parts at a very competitive price.
