What is the smallest orchestra I can use with this orchestration?
Is this a simplified orchestration?
No, this is not a simplified reduction for a student orchestra. All the parts are as challenging as the original, re-orchestrated for a smaller ensemble.
Should the orchestra be miked?
For a smaller string section to blend with the woodwinds and brass, sound reinforcement should be used, mikes placed strategically among the players.
