"I have commisioned about 40 custom arrangements from Staffan since almost 10 years back for my concert band. His arrangements always sounds great, much due to his professional knowledge about music, and especially technical demands on young musicians on different levels. In our concert band we gladly play arrangements signed Odenhall."

"After playing Staffans arrangements, I get astonished of his capacity and skill when it comes to new ways of arranging. He manages to create an excitement in the music that encites the musician to concentrate on new sounds.

Most of the time in other transcriptions, you know what is going to happen in a musical perspective, but not when it comes to Staffan. He has a different way of thinking.

My orchestra has been happy to find a composer that puts his soul into his work. I can highly recommend Staffan Odenhall as a composer/arranger for orchestras and ensembles."

Göran Lundberg
Conductor and Orchestral leader

"Since 1998 Staffan Odenhall has made about 30 custom arrangements for Jeppo Youth Orchestra, a symphonic concert band in Finland. All arrangements has been custom made for different larger projects where the orchestra has been joined by famous guest artists as: Robert Wells, Dani Strömbäck, Frank Ådahl and LaGaylia Frazier. In the orchestra we have about 55 horn players, 6 percussionists + electric bass, guitar and piano. Sometimes also with a 10 man background choir.

Thanks to Staffans multifaceted musical background, it's possible to order different kinds of musical genres from the same composer.

Here are some of the reasons why we choose Staffan as an arranger:

- He is very openminded when it comes to different musical genres.
- He is easy to work with, and considerates the conductors wishes.
- He arranges the music after desired level.
- He rearrange the form if needed.
- He is an expert on wind instruments and makes use of the different instruments possibilities.
- He makes use of the orchestras instruments in a way that makes the music interesting for the musicians.
- Even if the original music not is meant for concert band, he manages to get the right mood in to the arrangement with respect for the original.
- He is very efficient and punctual in his work.

I highly recommend Staffan Odenhalls arrangements for your orchestra."
