Orchestra

An orchestra is a sizable instrumental ensemble that contains sections of string, brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments.

The most spectacular of ensembles, composed of any sizable group of instrumental performers under the direction of a conductor.

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"; these modifiers do not necessarily indicate any strict difference in either the instrumental constitution or role of the orchestra, but can be useful to distinguish different ensembles based in the same city (for instance, the London Symphony Orchestra and the London 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 employ as many as fifty musicians; some are much smaller than that.

ConcertoA concerto (from the Italian: concerto, plural concerti or, often, the anglicised form concertos) is a musical work usually composed in three parts or movements, in which (usually) one solo instrument

(for instance, a piano, violin, cello or flute) is accompanied by an orchestra.

re also used and today a full range of instruments can be heard, such as the Mexican vihuela, violins and cellos, marimbas, xylophones, harps, and timbales.The Filipino instruments are made from indigenous Philippine wood and the plectrum, or picks, are made from tortoise-shell. Other stringed instruments composing the standard Filipino rondalla are the bandurria, the laúd, the octavina, the bajo de uñas or double bass,[4] bass guitar,[5] and other Filipino-made instruments modeled and developed after the guitar.[4] The Philippine rondalla’s repertoire include folk songs such as the balitaw and the kundiman, balse (waltz), danza, march music, modern and contemporary melodies, and foreign and Filipino classics.[4]
