Hervé GILLES        Orchestrator



In MP3 files, some titles here, recorded from my score. Then with a midi-audio sequencer. So, no real instruments but certainly  a clear and good idea for a project by an orchestra.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly : (Ennio Morricone). 1'40" (without repeats). Main Theme from picture.      (1,34 mo)

One Hour Photo :(Johnny Klimek). 2'30''. From picture main theme.  All is in expression with this strange and beautiful music (1,98 mo)

Gone with the Wind: (Max Steiner). 2'30" env. (here without repeat de 2'). Famous main theme from famous picture. Can be played by a "junior orchestra" in a musical classroom. (1,45 mo)

Largo  "Symphonie du Nouveau Monde" : (Anton Dvoràk). 3'10''. Everyone knows this famous theme. This   Largo eventually also for a "modest" ensemble of young musicians. Attention to an important work with a lot of indications for  beautiful expression. (2,56 mo).

Invisible man : (Henry Mancini). 2'10''. Main theme from a TV serie (1970-80). Enjoying the melodic & "efficient" harmonic ways. (2,02 mo).

Les Aventures de Pinocchio : (Forenzo Carpi). 5'38". Three main themes from the famous film (and TV serie) by Luigi Comencini. (5,16 mo).

Starwars : (John Williams). 3'57". From the famous picture (and famous music)... First, I made a "realistic score"... But to much difficulties (triplets & a lot of notes very fast... So I wrote a "light version" for young people. However it contains some technical difficulties because Williams's music is not evident to perform.
 (2,8 mo)

By You : (Antony Banks). 3'50". Tony is the most important musician (keyboard) composing with "Genesis" during 1970-80. He also wrote some scores for pictures and even a symphonic work (record published by Naxos). By You is a "synthetic" song from a solo album "The fugitive" (1980). I enjoyed to transcribe this beautiful melody for acoustic ensemble. (2,20 mo)


O
thers exist...  I essentially work first with "the phone on the head" (or sometime remembering...) to transcribe notes in a basic score piano-voice(s). I don't like to use a precedent score. Then, after transcribing notes, rythms... I make the orchestration using all informations I have about final project :   performance, number of musicians, os minutes, technical level for musicians (ex. if it is a project with  a very good guitarist... I 'll write a very important part for him...).


I also write arrangements from songs for trios, quartets, etc...   Example :
God only knows :
 The famous "God only knows" (Beach Boys -Brian Wilson) in my release for 3 parts (flutes) & piano.
