CONCLUSION

The most important conclusion to be drawn from our study of orchestration is that orchestration can bring out and enhance any aspect of the music. Once the composer gets into the habit of thinking about how timbre can mark and enrich important formal points, clarify and bring into better focus details of rhythmic design, enhance details of harmony and counterpoint, orchestration becomes what it should be for maximum artistic effect: an integral part of composition itself.
