These pieces of music have been arranged as faithfully as possible.

Melodies and harmonies are as in the original.

The only additions are short introductions and the occasional transition.

Instrumentation has been replaced and/or augmented with modern instruments and voices replaced by instruments.

The basic method is simple: either the piece is presented as in the original, or else the melody is first stated by a single instrument, then taken up by others, solo or in groups, and finally by the whole orchestra (as explained here).

The task was made easier by using Sibelius instead of pen and paper.
