ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Arnold van Wyk's monumental Night Music is regarded as one of the most
important and original South African piano compositions. Night Music offers a
legion of untapped timbre possibilities and certainly lends itself to the
embodiment of the more expressive and versatile medium of the symphony
orchestra. The orchestration of Night Music is an attempt to establish a version
which, through utilizing a different medium of presentation, will elucidate Van
Wyk's masterpiece and make it more accessible; not as a replacement of the
original, but as an enhancement.
