At the bottom of this page are downloadable files of most of the study materials that we will be using. Materials will be added to this page as they are developed. Check back often!

What to Bring;  First and foremost, your love of orchestral music and your desire to get deep inside it.

It is highly recommended that you purchase a copy of the score if you would like to get the most out of the study sessions.  Scores for Daphnis and Chloë Suites I and II can be purchased online at Amazon.ca or at Remenyi House of Music, 210 Bloor Street West, Toronto.  A limited number of scores will be made available for use at the study.  It is Suites I and II that we are studying;  if you already have a copy of the full ballet score, not to worry.  Suite I corresponds to rehearsal 70 – 130, and Suite II corresponds to rehearsal 155 – end.  Scores for The Star Wars Suite by John Williams are available online through Amazon or at retailers selling Hal Leonard materials. The same goes for Aaron Copland’s “Appalachian Spring” for 13 Instruments.

Also, bring manuscript paper if you have it (you can download blank manuscript below), and pencils and eraser, as well as any other writing materials such as highlighters to mark the score.
