Behind the Scenes #10

The orchestrations of "All's Fair in Love" heard at the February and April performance at C.W. Post took from December 2, 2009 to January 14, 2010 to complete. Christopher Hopkins wrote the orchestrations specifically for the musicians who signed on to the full production performances. The selection of musicians and instruments at the university dictated the instrumentation used. Based on this, the instrumentation for "All's Fair in Love" is as follows:

Bb Trumpet 1 and 2
French Horn
Trombone
Violin
Cello (double on String Bass)
Flute (double on Clarinet)
Oboe
Eb Tenor Sax

The musical is also available as a piano and voice score as was heard during December 2009's Preview Night.
