Analyzing the Source Material
Before writing a single note, spend time with the original recording. Create a simple roadmap of the song: intro, verse, chorus, bridge, solos, outro. Identify the core elements: the lead vocal melody, the bass line, the harmonic rhythm (how often chords change), and any signature production elements (a drum fill, a guitar riff). Decide which elements are essential to the identity of the song and which can be adapted or omitted. For example, a complex drum groove might be simplified into a rhythmic pad for the trombones, while a bass guitar riff could become the perfect feature for the tuba. Also note the song’s dynamic arc—where does it build to a climax? Where does it pull back? This roadmap becomes the backbone of your arrangement.
