Ouestion 36 - 40
An orchestra is an instrumental ensemble, usually fairly large with string, brass, woodwind sections, and
possibly a percussion section as well. The term orchestra comes from the name of the area in front of an ancient
Greek stage reserved for the Greek chorus. The orchestra grew bigger throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries, but changed very little in composition during the course of the twentieth century. A smaller sized
orchestra for this time period (of about fifty players or fewer) is called a chamber orchestra.
A full size orchestra (about 100 players) may sometimes be called a "symphony orchestra" or
"philharmonic orchestra. A symphony orchestra will usually have over eighty musicians on its roster, in some
cases over a hundred, but the actual number of musicians employed in a particular performance may vary
according to the work being played and the size of the venue. A leading chamber orchestra might have as many
as fifty musicians; some are much smaller than that.
The typical symphony orchestra consists of four proportionate groups of similar musical instruments
called the woodwinds, brass, percussion, and strings. The orchestra, depending on the size, contains almost all
of the standard instruments in each group. In the history of the orchestra, its instrumentation has been expanded
over time, often agreed to have been standardized by the classical period and Beethoven's influence on the
classical model.
In some theaters, the orchestra is the area of seats directly in front of the stage (called primafila or
platea); the term more properly applies to the place in a theatre, or concert hall reserved for the musicians.
