Orchestration is the art of arranging music for orchestral instruments to bring a composer's score to life. It involves deciding which instruments will play which parts, balancing the sound, and creating unique textures and colors within the music. The orchestrator works closely with the composer to ensure their intentions are captured in the final arrangement.

While conductors do play a critical role in orchestration, it is not always done exclusively by them. Orchestration refers to the arrangement and coordination of different musical elements within a piece, and composers or arrangers can also be involved in this process. Conductors often interpret and direct the performance of a pre-existing orchestration.
False. Orchestration is in the hands of the composer only. Orchestration is the art of taking your musical material, and adapting it to fit the orchestra. Given that many orchestras have more than 100 musicians playing at once, this can be very difficult. Some composers were not only known for composing great tunes, but also for being very skilled in orchestrating their pieces. Maurice Ravel in particular was a very famous orchestrator.

It is called a 'score'
Giovanni Gabrieli (1597-1612) is known as the father of orchestration. He was arguably the first to specifically designate instruments in the musical score. Furhtermore, he was extremely innovative in the antiphonal use of multiple choirs in the catherdral in Venice.
A conductor's responsibilities include leading and directing the musicians during rehearsals and performances, interpreting the music to shape the ensemble's sound, setting the tempo, cuing entrances, and ensuring overall musical cohesion. Conductors also work with composers, plan concert programs, and may be involved in fundraising and audience development.
