(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
An arrangement is an adaptation of a piece of music for another musical application than for which it was originally meant. This includes arrangements for a different instrument, or different instruments (for example an arrangement for piano or flute, or a duet, based on a symphonic piece; or arrangement of instrumental accompaniment for vocal music) and for another musical style (for example adaptation of a classical piece into a more modern style of music). Sometimes an arrangement is called an orchestration.Source: adapted by the editor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) from the article "Arrangement."

 | Once a vast carpet of healthy vegetation, the Amazon rain forest is changing rapidly. This image of Bolivia shows dramatic deforestation in the Amazon Basin. Loggers have cut long paths into the forest, while ranchers have cleared large blocks for their herds.
