My score order would be (unless the composer/conductor really wants something else........)
Bells Harp Piano Perc Timp Boy Sop SATB chorus Strings In piano-accompanied bell music the bells are usually found above the piano, and harps usually precede piano in an orch score. While I know that perc/etc usually come before any keybd instr., having them on top just looks wrong to me, except in the case of the bells (for the reason given above). If, tho, the timp/perc parts are extremely complex they may need to be on top where the conductor can follow them a little easier. my 2c worth (and that's shrinking thanks to a lower dollar yesterday!...............) best to you all- Cecil Rigby [EMAIL PROTECTED] (personal) [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.harrockhall.com - days til the new book is released.........
