jan 1, 1970 - 1970s

Description:

Many prominent composers/orchestrators write in their own styles (Bennett, Lang, Hershy Kay), and others (Walker, Ginzler, Kostal, Burns) experimented with new combinations.
Lang was virtually the only orchestrator who still wrote in the ‘old-fashioned’ Broadway style
Occasionally special instruments were used when the show needed a different sound, e.g., accordion
