Three decades of orchestration & engraving
Every score is prepared or supervised personally by Samy Elgazzar, Berklee College of Music (Magna Cum Laude), for projects where the score has to be right the first time.
Your Sound, Our Craft.
Preparation is the First Performance.
When a score lacks clarity, rehearsals stall, recording sessions overrun, and performers lose confidence. ScoreMasters® prepares orchestration, arranging, engraving, transcription, and parts for the moment the conductor raises the baton, the red light goes on, or the score reaches the publisher’s desk. Handled or supervised personally by a credentialed composer-orchestrator-engraver, not a marketplace and not an anonymous back office.
AI and tech tools can draft. They cannot orchestrate for live ensembles, engrave for publication, or prepare parts that perform under pressure. That work belongs to a working composer who knows what real ensembles need. That is where ScoreMasters® lives.

What Three Decades of Practice Actually Buys You
Six reasons composers, artists, publishers, and ensembles trust their most demanding scores to one name.
Expert Personal Leadership
Every project is handled or supervised by Samy Elgazzar personally, not an anonymous back-office or marketplace. You get a Berklee-trained, MMus composer-orchestrator with releases on BMG and Universal and an engraving pedigree including Mikis Theodorakis and Editions Bim.
Nothing About Your Score Is New
Unusual instrumentation, illegible manuscript, awkward divisi, non-traditional notation: these are routine here, not obstacles. Nothing about your score arrives as a surprise, and your project does not fund anyone's learning curve.
Composer-Level Musical Judgment
We provide results, not just output. Every score is shaped by an active composer who understands acoustic balance, idiomatic writing, and the practical demands of live performance. We fix the nuances that AI and notation exports consistently miss.
Publisher-Grade, Performance-Ready Output
Our engraving follows the industry-standard conventions of Elaine Gould's Behind Bars. Whether it's for the Royal Philharmonic or a leading classical publisher, our scores are crafted to perform under pressure and meet strict professional standards.
Comprehensive, Zero-Fee Format Support
Submit any file, from handwritten manuscripts to AI audio, and receive your deliverables in any combination of formats you require. Unlike competitors, every output format you need is included at no extra cost if you're the copyright holder of the source material.
Fast, Transparent, and Secure Service
Get a definitive, transparent quote in USD, EUR, or GBP within 12 hours. We define scope and deadlines upfront, ensuring confidential handling and a friction-free experience from first contact to final delivery.
