This Halloween season, (Oct. 30, 31; Nov. 1), The New York Philharmonic, under conductor Leonard Slatkin, offers a concert of works by Copland and Rouse, plus two by Ravel -- one of which will be an arrangement of his piano piece, "Gaspard de la nuit," orchestrated by Marius Constant.

An orchestration he made in 1990.

From the liner notes of the CD edition :

I further increased the challenge to myself by deliberately choosing a Ravel-like instrumentation (the orchestra of La valse, in fact). However, I used the orchestra in new combinations, attempting to broaden its range of sonorities (thus breaking in passing certain persistent taboos in orchestration). (Marius Constant)

Hey, PNJ, this is 2nd thread you created related to Marius Constant in which you don't mention his name in the header!

Perhaps we should entitle a thread "Marius Constant" and add new items to it as we go along? smile

Hey I like a Ravel/T-Zone association and listening to "Ondine" and "Scarbo" I throw in Herrmann and F. Steiner associations for good measure. For me the opening of Ondine has a real "Grotto" feel from BH's Journey To The Center Of The Earth and the piano 'flourish' near its end and parts of Scarbo have the feel of FS's A Hundred Yards Over The Rim.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's got that CD.

Hey, ToneRow, the headline got you to click on the thread, didn't it?
