Are there any books on mixing for EDM or Orchestra music that someone would recommend?

Hello all I am looking to improve my orchestration. So, I looked around the Internet and found Berlioz's Treatise on Instrumentation on IMSLP. However, as useful as this has been, it is not exactly what I am looking for. What I try to find is not a book which tells me about about the instruments themselves, but rather how to combine them and make my orchestral scores look and sound good. Glancing at one of my orchestral scores, I can see that the orchestration is very basic, and probably sounds as much. (It is on manuscript, so I cannot hear it) Does anyone know of any books/websites/articles that will help me to improve this aspect of my orchestration? Thanks

Hey friends, Looking for any good books or documents/pages (pdf's, etc.) that might talk a little about writing tone poem or program music. Yes, there are hundreds and hundreds of composition books, but I'm just looking for some insight specifically on those mid-range pieces of music (too short to be a symphony, too long to be a "pop hit"). Elements, style, things to consider, inspiration. All or any of those topics. Thanks for any feedback.

Some theory books: http://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Music_theory Hi, I hear that Michael Tippett started with this one, http://imslp.org/wiki/Musical_Composition_(Stanford,_Charles_Villiers) My question is, are there any other free books/websites out there that you can recommend?

Quick question. It's time for me to go out and buy another music manuscript book (I prefer to write music on paper first, rather than directly into Finale). I'm looking for something large (11x17" or larger), wire bound, and with a reasonable number of staves for a page that size (18 or more; this would seem to be a no-brainer, but I've seen educational 11x17 manuscript paper with TWO staves). Do the manuscript enthusiasts of Young Composers have a recommendation for a particular book they use? Many thanks.

Anyone know any good books on composition? Especially regarding form, harmony, and counterpoint. Right now I'm reading "the Study of Counterpoint from Johann Joseph Fux's Gradus Ad Parnassum", so anything similar to that anyone would recommend?
