[Fmpro] Where are the Distinctive Voices In Scoring?

[Mike Vaccaro]

Fernando

I am glad you liked that, I played 1st clarinet, Bobby Shulgold 1st flute, 
John Yoakum 1st Oboe, and Peter Mandell 1st bassoon. The orchestra was 
conducted by Tim Simonec (another great composer in his own right) and 
contracted by Reggie Wilson from Disney Studios. The woodwind writing was 
fantastic and though notey it laid well and was fun to play
