Arranging & Scoring

Musical architecture for rhythm sections, horns, big bands and hybrid projects.

Write for the musicians in the room.

Christian’s arranging language draws from jazz, Afro-Cuban music, salsa, classical form and decades of practical ensemble leadership.

Creative work may include horn writing, rhythm-section parts, big-band arranging, orchestration, score preparation and production-minded arrangement.

Featured: Mambo Rachmaninoff

Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 reframed through danzón, mambo, guaguancó, tango and Latin big-band language.

Score Detail

Arranging as proof of craft.

The work lives in the details: voicings, rhythm-section architecture, cue clarity and parts that make sense on the stand.
