| | Welcome to Orchestra.com |
 | | An orchestra is a musical ensemble used most often in classical music. | | | A full size orchestra may sometimes be called a "symphony orchestra" or "philharmonic orchestra"; these prefixes do not indicate any difference either to the instrumental content or role of the orchestra, but can be useful to distinguish different orchestras based in the same city (for instance, the London Symphony Orchestra and the London Philharmonic Orchestra). | | | The unusual aspect of the orchestra was that, believing that in the ideal Marxist state all men are equal, its members felt that there was no need to be led by the dictatorial baton of a conductor; instead they were led by a committee. |

| | Ulster Orchestra Reviews |
| | Dmitry Sitkovetsky, who conducted the Ulster Orchestra's programme, doubles as a violinist, a role he resumed for the two central works in the concert, Mozart's E flat Sinfonia concertante and Arvo Part's Fratres. | | | Montgomery showed a keen understanding of the possibilities of this music and with the complete co-operation of the orchestra gave us a dedicated performance that was most rewarding. | | | We were also treated to a Symphony for Double Orchestra in D major (Op18 No.3) by Johann Christian Bach, this proved a rewarding experience in which the contrast between the two orchestras each with a different composition was intriguing. |

| | Epic Records signed the band to a record deal in 1974 and their eponymous album was released late that year. | | | She took the lead on "Fay Wray," lending genuine emotion to the song, and also contributed narration to "Love Is Not Enough," which is perhaps my favorite song from the album. | | | I would especially like to thank Don for his help in answering some questions I had about the group's album, particularly the vexing question of exactly which songs were added to the original album at the request of Bruce Lundvall, President of CBS Records. |

| | National Symphony Orchestra: Discography |
| | Kamen's first symphonic concert work was commissioned and recorded by Leonard Slatkin and The National Symphony Orchestra in Washington DC to celebrate the new millennium. | | | It was under Antal Dorati, internationally recognized for his work as an orchestra builder, that the recording industry began to accord prestigious honors to NSO recordings. | | | "Instruments of the Orchestra" followed, as well as "Music That Paints a Picture." As school budget cuts forced the loss of teachers in the arts in subsequent decades, these recordings stayed in use by teachers who were non-specialists, slowing the drain of the arts from American public education. |

| | HOASM: The Mannheim School |
| | The orchestra was not founded by Stamitz; it came together in 1720 when the musicians from the disbanded electoral orchestras at Innsbruck and Düsseldorf assembled at Mannheim. | | | This combined orchestra was available to Mozart, who had become acquainted with some of the musicians during his visits to Mannheim in 1777-78, when Idomeneowas performed for the first time, at Munich in 1781. | | | Clearly, however, its pan-European character was not the only factor to which this orchestra owed the fame which it eventually acquired. |

| | One of the first popular songs to use a sampled orchestra hit sound was the band Yes's 1983 hit "Owner of a Lonely Heart", from their album 90125. | | | The orchestra hit sound was propagated by the use of early samplers, particularly the Fairlight CMI, and it has similarly appeared as a voice on many keyboards. | | | By the 1990s the orchestra hit was generally regarded as a musical cliché. |
