<div style='position:absolute; left: 35%; top: 40px; font-size: 350%; '> Welcome to the Orchestra </div>

<div style='font-size: 125%; position: relative; top: 15px;'>People have been gathering together to play musical instruments for thousands of years. It was only in the Medieval era that instrumentalists throughout Europe began to organize themselves into performing ensembles. As time progressed, these ensembles began to expand, new instruments were developed and added, and the roles of the ensembles changed. Eventually, the symphony orchestra, as we know it today, was born.

<div class="right">The percussion family is the most varied family in the orchestra with many instruments that are played in many different ways. Percussion instruments make sound by either being hit (with hands, sticks or mallets), shacken, rubbed, or even sometimes bowed. Percussion instruments can be made of a wide variety of materials.
Percussionists consider almost anything to be a percussion instrument, including junk yard trash!
Standard orchestral percussion instruments are generally classified into two categories: pitched and unpitched.

Similar to the Medieval era, instrumental ensembles in the Renaissance period primarily performed for celebrations, dances, and gatherings.

Instruments/ ensembles were also primarily used to accompany vocalists and vocal music.

New instruments were developed during this time, including the sackbut (precursor to the trombone) and dulcian (precursor to the bassoon).

The Baroque era saw the rise of music written specifically for instrumental ensembles. Virtuosic capabilities of many instruments were greatly enhanced, and instruments began to resemble what we know them as today.

The modern orchestra was also born during this era largely due to these developments. The use of strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion together started to become common.

<div style='font-size: 125%; position: relative; top: 15px;'>
In the Classical era, the orchestra gradually transitioned into the standard symphony orchestra of today.

Woodwind and brass sections were gradually greatly expanded and became used consistently in orchestral music.

Two prominent changes to the instrumentation of the orchestra included: addition of clarinets to the woodwind section (the clarinet was only invented in the early 18th century), and addition of trombones to the brass section (especially in music composed after 1800).

In the Romantic era, the size of each section of the orchestra increased and many new instruments were added that became common features in orchestral music.

The orchestra has stayed relatively the same since the Romantic era, and individual composers sometimes include other unique instruments to achieve certain moods or sound effects.

The harp is the only string instrument that is not bowed. It is played by plucking the strings with fingers.

The origins of the harp can be traced to the ancient Greek [[lyre]]: an early plucked string instrument.

Often characterized by its angelic and heavenly sound.

The modern concert pedal harp was created in the late 17th century with more pedals added in the 19th century. <img src="images/chevron.png"

Symphonies are one of the most important works an orchestra can do.

Symphonies tend to be long pieces (from 20-90 minutes long) with multiple parts. These parts are called movements.

Most symphonies have 4 movements and tend to follow a structure that looks something like this:

Allegro – Introductory movement of a lively speed
Largo – A slow movement that usually contrasts with the first
Scherzo – A fast movement that can sound dance-like.
Finale – This is where most composers give the orchestra an opportunity to show off their skills. The last movement of a symphony is often grandiose and complex.

A suite is a series of musical works that traditionally feature certain types of dances such as the chaconne, gigue(jig), minuet and many more. In more modern times the suite lost its dance focus. A suite now is more commonly a collection of shorter pieces meant to be played together as a set.

Concerto's are very similar to symphonies. They are longer pieces, typically divided into movements with contrasting tempi, but rather than featuring the whole orchestra, concertos feature a soloist accompanied by an orchestra.

<div style='position:absolute; left: 35%; top: 40px; font-size: 350%; '>What is opera?</div>

<div style='font-size: 125%; position: relative; top: 15px;'>Opera is a type of Theater where nearly everything is sung rather than spoken. During these performances rather than being on stage the orchestra finds itself in what is called a pit. The pit is a lowered section of floor in front of the stage or even a separate space under the stage. </div>

<div class="columns3">
<div class="left">
Some of these songs are solos where the actor/singer features their musical skills and shares their characters emotions. These are known as Arias:
<audio src="sounds/Aria.mp3" type="audio/wav" controls></audio>

Some of these songs focus more on text and exist to help move the story along and give the audience more information. These are known as Recitatif:
<audio src="sounds/Recitatif.mp3" type="audio/wav" controls></audio>
</div>

<div class="space"></div>
<div class="right">
Operas do not exclusively feature singers however. To begin the performance the orchestra will play what is called an Overture on its own which sets the scene/mood for the opera.

Musical Theater is a type of theater similar to opera where some of what happens on stage is sung, but rather than have the actors sing throughout the performance, musical theater has sections of dialogue and sometimes dance interspersed. Singers of musical theater also use a different vocal technique from opera singers.

Like in Opera the orchestra's role in musical theater is to set a mood and create an ambience for the drama and perform from a place called the pit.

The orchestra's purpose within a film or television series is to help set scenes and enhance the emotions being felt by the viewer. This means the orchestra will often record many pieces for many changing scenes.

Can you hear the scene changes in this musical example?
