2231Symphony orchestras  

Oberbegriff

Anwendungshinweise

  • Musical ensemble consisting of musicians playing string, wind (wood and brass) and percussion instruments of the European musical tradition. Symphony orchestras are ensembles of a few dozens to more than a hundred players, depending on the musical genre and on the period the respective work was created. The roots of the symphony orchestra are to be found in the musical ensembles of religious music and, mostly, in the opera orchestras of the Baroque. Crucial in the development of symphony orchestras was the gradual autonomy of instrumental classical music from song, which led to the emergence of the symphony as the par excellence musical form from the classical period onwards. Since the 19th and, mainly, in the 20th century, symphony orchestras became important cultural institutions in the big cities of Europe and North America, and gradually of the whole world, while orchestra conductors acquired the status of great artists and celebrities at the same time.
