Nelson Riddle's orchestra typically featured a rich blend of instruments, including strings (violins, violas, cellos, and double bass), woodwinds (flutes, clarinets, saxophones, and oboes), brass (trumpets, trombones, and tubas), and percussion (drums and cymbals). Riddle was known for his lush arrangements that showcased these instruments, creating a full and vibrant sound. His orchestras often included piano and guitar as well, adding to the harmonic texture of his compositions. Overall, his orchestration was characterized by a sophisticated blend of traditional orchestral elements and contemporary influences.
