PROGRAMMING NOTES
This licensed 17 piece orchestration is based on the Original 2008 Broadway production. This is the largest of the 3 orchestrations MTI offers for this show. If you have the musicians and the space, this is the one to do and most closely resembles the Broadway Cast Recording.
This show is orchestrated to be player-conducted from the Keyboard 1 book. There are two keyboard books for this show both of which have programming.
Keyboard 1 is s primarily piano with a handful of other patches sprinkled in. This book requires an advanced player who can play pop/rock groove while leading the rest of the band.
Keyboard 2 is one of the easier to play Keyboard 2 books in the Musical Theater canon so it is perfect for a high school student or an intermediate/advanced player looking to play in the musical theater pit for the first time. There are lots of patches and instrument sounds but there are not many fast patch changes. Most of the patches in this book are Electric Piano, Harp, Strings,Brass, Clav, Organ, along with some auxiliary percussion and other Synth sounds. There are notes in this book that are mapped to other notes and chords (these are indicated in the score and part) but KeyboardTEK’s programming includes all of that so you will not have to create any of those yourself.
