orchestral music
Full ensemble compositions
Orchestral music is music composed for or performed by an orchestra—a large ensemble of stringed, wind, brass, and percussion instruments.
The term covers symphonies, concertos, overtures, and film scores: She prefers orchestral music to chamber pieces.
It implies a certain grandeur and complexity, distinguishing it from smaller ensemble or solo works.
