Learning Outcomes and Application | Arrangers in all genres apply the skills and knowledge outlined in this unit. They could be helping songwriters structure their compositions, writing versions of songs for performance or publication, or reworking existing compositions for recording artists by providing charts for rhythm sections.Arranging is closely allied to composing, so aural imagination and well-developed aural-perception skills are critical, along with sound understanding of the theory and practice of harmony and counterpoint. Even though they are reworking existing compositions, arrangers aim to produce a musically distinctive sound, sometimes adding original music to final arrangements. | ||
