Company - Alternate Orchestration

The following errata are for the Alternate Orchestration of Sondheim's COMPANY, from a production in September-October 2015. This list is currently incomplete.

Our rental came with a mix of alternate orchestration piano-vocal/piano-conductor scores and piano-vocal/piano-conductors scores not for the alternate orchestration. Needless to say, those that weren't marked for the alternate orchestration were not useful. But those marked for the alternate orchestration were pretty clean and in alignment. The full score of the alternate orchestration was also provided and, though helpful, wasn't really necessary - the reason being that this arrangement overall is pretty clean. Some minor errata are outlined below.

No. 13 Poor Baby

m. 6 Reed 3 has a wrong pitch on bt 3. Should be B-natural
m. 39 Percussion/bells have a C on the 3rd beat, which should be D.
m. 48 trumpet part has A-flat, which is in discrepancy with Sarah's line. MD should make the decision.

No. 19 Being Alive

m. 6 (2nd bar) Piano-vocal score has G-flats, which piano-conductor and trumpet part had F-naturals in melody.
