The Legacy Scoring Orchestra

03/04/2026

Over the past several months, we've had the pleasure to work with composer Alex Cap, painstakingly crafting his uniquely beautiful work, 'Mensurae In Aeternum' ("Measurements for Eternity"). This ambitious piece required several different sessions at several different locations as well as different ensembles, including our first collaboration with the incredible Illuminare Chorale Ensemble, under the direction of Jon Simsic. Alex composed this work through a commission through the NIST. Thank you to everyone involved with this ambitious undertaking - we are wishing you the best of success with this piece, Alex!

Earlier this fall we had the opportunity to perform and record composer Colin Eatock's satisfyingly complex work, "Transverse Line" while he joined us remotely. The rhythmic changes that happen throughout this piece are dauntingly quick, so hang on to your hats!

We're looking forward to working with composer Alex Cap in September, producing his orchestral + choral work, "Mensurae in Aeternum". We're going to be working with a full, 47-piece orchestra and also a full choral section for this project. You can learn more about Alex below.

A New Jersey to Los Angeles transplant, Alex Cap is a composer with a background as a classical pianist. Aside from working on films like Holly Star, Rocky Roads, From Sea to Rising Sea, and A Spartan Dream and games like Bloobo, Blindsight: War of the Wardens, and Task Attack, he has written several original wind ensemble, concert band, and choir pieces. In 2024, Cap was commissioned to write Mensurae in Aeternum. This piece was privately commissioned to honor the 125th Anniversary of the establishment of the National Bureau of Standards, which became known as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 1988. NIST will host an 80th Anniversary Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements (CPEM) in 2028, during which this piece will be played.

It was a real treat to work with veteran conductor Michele Monigold, who served as our guest conductor for some of our recent scoring sessions. It's always a learning experience to see the way different conductors communicate, express and connect with the orchestra. Take a moment to hear about Michele's experience with us and background as a conductor below.

We just completed the first phase of scoring for the 'Dietrich & Maria' musical, produced by Glenn A. Pickett and author David Goodman. We're producing this ambitious musical in a modular format starting with the string ensemble, then the woodwinds / brass, followed by percussion and bass, and finally wrapping things up by recording the vocals in California. It's a pleasure to be able to partner with you on this journey, Glenn.

After an incredibly intense week of no less than 5 scoring sessions each lasting approximately 3 hours per session within the scope of 4 days, we were just as slap happy and giddy as we were focused right before we recorded the final couple of bars for our client (composer Glenn A Pickett, who joined us remotely from California for his last session with us). We then waiting with baited breath for his approval - which he wholeheartedly gave! We will be sharing more information about our incredible week together in the days to come. For now, we hope you enjoy this little clip of our final take!
