Forgive the odd way the title words are 'arranged', fnarr fnarr, but if I wrote it in proper English there'd be people with my sense of humour making funny comments about saxophone placement like furniture in a room
So
Where do I go to learn some basic horn section arrangement principles? I've been creating some sheets for soul classics, partly by listening, partly by adapting ready made sheets. I try hard to hear where the horn section is playing enharmonic notes and when there is harmony, but it's a helluva struggle sometimes. I can't tell if the richness of sound is down to the various horn timbres melding together, or if it's a harmonic effect or both
I wonder whether learning some rules of thumb might aid my lugholes
Suggestions please
