ALPOH orchestra info

[Dan Shipway]

Hey dudes, I have been planning a huge project. My friend and I are taking on the challenge of recording a cover of ALPOH, but here's the catch, all orchestral sections are being recorded live, no plugins or virtual instruments. THE REAL DEAL.

I was wondering if anyone had information they could share regarding the arrangement of it all (instruments, numbers of performers etc) as I can't seem to find anything online.

Aside from that its just figuring out where to find the sheet music and then its all systems go.

Any help/ info would be greatly appreciated, many thanks in advance!

This is how an orchestra is positioned:

As for ALPOH itself, it has strings and brass sections as far as I can tell. Strings are violins, violas, cellos, and double basses. Brass means trumpet, trombone, tuba, and french horn. Honestly, the best place to start is Making Of A Little Piece Of Heaven. Try and see what instruments they actually use.

I hope this helps a bit.

Here are some sheet links as well:

Link 1 (piano-ish)

Link 2 (some complex shit I don't think I've ever had to read in 10 years of classical music, but I'll help you if you want)

Yeah, that helps a whole lot! I will check out the making of ALPOH and see what else I can find!

Cheers for the sheet music, I'm sure the performers will understand it a lot better than I do haha
