Hi there,
I'm new to this site and haven't got any of the VSL software. I'm looking to possibly commission someone to produce a realization for me of an original score that I have, and I'm curious as to how much someone with the necessary experience and software might charge to do it. The reason I'm not doing the realization myself is that I only need to do this once, for this particular piece, and the expense and time involved in buying and learning to use VSL, GS and a sequencer like Logic isn't really justified in my case.
___
The piece is Hermann-esque in style and is scored for full orchestra:
Violin section (mostly straight forward articulations, but some con-sordino, harmonics and portamento effects in all of the strings except bass and cello)
Viola section
Cello section
Bass section
Flute (3)
Piccolo
Oboe (2)
Cor Anglais in F
Clarinet in Bb (2)
Bass Clarinet
Bassoon (3)
Contra-Bassoon
Horn in F (4)
Trumpet in Bb (3)
Cornet
Tenor Trombone (3)
Bass Trombone
Tuba
Percussion: Timpani; Snare drum; China crash; Large sizzle cymbal; Large crash cymbals; Triangle; Tam-Tam; Crotales; Xylophone.
Harp (with some harmonics)
Piano
Celesta
___
Obviously I realize how much someone would charge depends very much on the length of the piece and how involved the orchestration is. It plays somewhere around 9 minutes, although it's slow, and at times the orchestration is fairly complex. I can provide a Sibelius 3 file for you to look at, or a MIDI file from Sibelius (although because of the way Sibelius generates the file a lot of instruments and effects don't play back correctly, e.g. snare rolls) to check out. I've got a few scores printed on A3 so whoever does this for me could havea copy of that, too.
I honestly have no idea what to expect to pay or if this is the correct forum to post my request in. The realization would be for non-commercial purposes (it's for an entrance into a composing competition, actually), if that makes any difference to the price. The score was originally recorded by a local youth orchestra, and while their performance was pretty good considering their age and experience, a lot of things were played incorrectly or the tempos were seriously out, so I need something that better demonstrates the intentions of the composer.
Anyway, hopefully there's someone here who might be interested or at least able to offer some advice!
Cheers,
Nat
