Berklee College of Music Professor “Doc” Vose followed his dream to spread this musical excitement and his deep love and respect for the musical contributions of composer Burt Bacharach and lyricist Hal David by assembling his own Deep Blue “C” Studio Orchestra, 17 members including vocals.
A studio orchestra is made up of woodwinds, brass, percussion and strings as in a symphony orchestra. It also includes a rhythm section of guitar, bass guitar, keyboards and drums set as in a jazz combo or show orchestra. Traditionally studio orchestras were assembled by large recording houses (MGM) or in the film industry to enhance the effect of a movie (film scoring) and to extract the most poignant details in the composer’s music. Some of the most famous studio orchestras were: The Hollywood Studio Orchestra, The Eastman Studio Orchestra, Warner Brothers Studio Orchestra and the London Studio Orchestra. But on very rare occasions, except in very big budgeted shows, do music enthusiasts get the opportunity to hear such an orchestra. Here in the coastal areas of Maine and New Hampshire, we have many seasoned musicians and some excellent published arrangers and composers ready to perform for you. The DB “C” concerts are elegant and classy. You will find our concerts to be unique and memorable, ingredients that are always present.
Studio orchestras in the films Casino Royale, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and Arthur memorialized Burt Bacharach’s music.
The Deep Blue “C” Studio Orchestra, is out of the studio and into your concert hall!
