An orchestra is a large ensemble made up of strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and other instruments.
How to use it
Combining the range and tone of each instrument creates wide dynamics and rich color. The way an orchestra is organized is useful in computer-based production as well.
How it differs from related terms
An orchestra is a specific large ensemble, while ensemble is a general term for playing together with any number of musicians.
Rather than having everyone play all the time, assign sounds by role and the result will be richer.
