Abstract
for orchestrating for winds from a choral setting. There is a dearth of research on techniques in replicating a homogenous a
cappella choral work in a heterogeneous wind band setting. The investigation involved score analysis of both choral and band
versions, with focus on the re-organisation of melodic material and timbre. Results were compared to existing research on
choral replication. Whilst the works are linked, the transcription has effectively redefined the original, creating a new work in the
wind band repertoire.

N2 - Transcriptions are a significant proportion of the wind band repertoire. The purpose of this document is to discuss techniquesfor orchestrating for winds from a choral setting. There is a dearth of research on techniques in replicating a homogenous acappella choral work in a heterogeneous wind band setting. The investigation involved score analysis of both choral and bandversions, with focus on the re-organisation of melodic material and timbre. Results were compared to existing research onchoral replication. Whilst the works are linked, the transcription has effectively redefined the original, creating a new work in thewind band repertoire.
