ARRANGEMENTS FOR BASE, STRINGS, WOODWINDS AND BRASS GROUPS

Arrangements for small groups, brass, strings and woodwinds. I have over 20 years of experience in Brazil and Italy, having provided arrangements for major artists in both countries. A special mention goes to the latest album by the great singer from Florence, Narciso Parigi, called Italia, America e Ritorno. The main genres of music I work with are jazz, Brazilian music and original music.

I write the arrangements using Finale software and, in addition to the written version, I can also send you a midi version.

I can write the arrangements to a previously recorded base or from scratch. The arrangements can be for recordings or live performances.
