Looking to start creating orchestra music
I've played piano for around 9 years and am intermediate-advanced level. I always go see the Minnesota orchestra whenever I can because I really enjoy hearing them play. I always have melodies that I sort of make up/think in my head and wonder how they would sound together in a song. Anyways, I have musescore on my windows and I'm looking at just creating a draft of a song that I can make adjustments to after I finish the draft. My question is, what roles in the song should the instruments play? I'm assuming that the oboes are supposed to carry out the main idea/melody in the song, the flutes are supposed to add "flair" or color to the song, but I'm unsure about the stringed instruments, bassoon, etc. Also, I'm not necessarily sure which instrument should play together and which instruments should be silent at those times. Could I have some advice?
