The arranger voices downward from his lead note using available chord tones in a one octave range. Throughout arranging history these voicings have been manipulated by jazz arrangers in what turns out to be ways that are just as mathematical eg Drop 2 voicings where the 2nd highest note is dropped an octave to give the feeling of a more open voicing. In cases where the led is doubled some arrangers think it sounds too old fashioned to just double the led so they ll substitue 9th for root amp vice versa among other substitutions. While working with Sibelius I have found that where possible I like to keep one hand free for selections from the numeric keypad note values and articulations etc and the other hand to play in my voicings or melodies. Bob s Brass Voicing plugin and Arrange Voicing plugin for the saxophone section although it could be used by any 4 or 5 horn ensemble allows the arranger to play in his 4 note voicings and run the plugin to get the voicing style he wants. Example 1 Example 1 shows some 4 note voicings. To run the plugin on this single staff version just select the passage containing the phrase you wish to voice. You will have a number of choices of voicing style see Ex. 2 In single staff versions you won t be asked to select split pattern. Example 3 shows the result from running the arrange pattern shown in ex. 2. 1 Staff version after plugin 7 Brass Lead 3rd amp 4th doubled drop 2 3 Example 4 shows how to prepare for a 2 stave version. The arranger plays his 4 note voic- ings in either clef in this case I did the treble clef first . The next step is to copy the exact phrase into the other clef just copy and paste . Next select both staves for the duration of the phrase you wish to arrange. Run the plugin in example 5 I used the settings from the screen shot in Ex. 2. Copy contents of treble staff to the bass staff 7 .
