| Summary | "The Evolution of Modern Orchestration" by Louis Adolphe Coerne is a scholarly examination of the history and development of orchestration, written in the early 20th century. This work aims to trace how orchestration has evolved in conjunction with the broader history of music, emphasizing the influences and key figures that have shaped the modern orchestra. As a study of musical evolution, it explores the intricacies of instrumental combinations, their roles, and techniques, providing insights into the art of writing for orchestras." The opening of the book sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the origins of instrumental music and its progression through various civilizations, including Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Coerne highlights how early music was intertwined with human emotions and rituals, evolving from primitive vocal expressions to the incorporation of instruments. As he moves through history, he discusses pivotal developments such as the introduction of harmony and notation, the resurgence of folk music, and the transformative influences of significant composers and theorists. The first chapters outline the foundational history of instrumental music and the rudimentary beginnings of orchestration, preparing the reader for a deeper analysis of its evolution in later periods.
