		<description><![CDATA[Okay, so while there&#8217;s a good deal of relief and satisfaction after having completed a (second) 12-week course in Orchestration, I&#8217;m genuinely bummed as well. I wouldn&#8217;t mind if this course had gone on for another 12&#8230; or even 24 weeks. It&#8217;s been that interesting / challenging / rewarding. Hats off to Berklee and Ben [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another week, another chord progression experiment. This one really got away from me, heading in a Jay Chattaway direction before I could slow it down. Now I just have to write and produce a new spin-off series so I can persuade myself to use this as the opening title music. Hey&#8230; it&#8217;s late and I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week in Songwriting Workshop:Harmony, our assignment was to put together a progression with certain characteristics. For that I created a groove that goes from a Im IVm Aeolian &#8220;power progression&#8221; to a Im IV7 Dorian equivalent. This inspired some additional changes that ultimately turned into a nice rumba thing: Week 5 Assignment &#8211; MP3 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the workshops we did last week came out fun. This was an assignment that started with some canned drum loops (you&#8217;ll hear them), to which we were to add orchestral instruments. This cue was a shot at something between James Bond (recent vintage) and the Bourne series film scores. Adding Orchestral Material to [...]]]></description>

I held back to the letter of the assignment and only sequenced the melody. Ben has since provided the score and I located the section containing one of the two examples he used.

		<description><![CDATA[The Orchestration I course at Berklee, with Ben Newhouse, is turning out to be quite informative, extensive and enjoyable. I&#8217;m learning loads of new things each week (and not having to grope around &#8216;experimenting&#8217; in order to do it). This past week had a number of interesting workshop activities. First was a short section extracted [...]]]></description>

I was impressed and completely enjoyed it (hence the second viewing) and expect lots of other folks did too &#8211; it&#8217;s grossed almost $200M in only 8 days &#8211; but I&#8217;ll save a real review for another time.
