orchestration

Scoring for ensemble

Orchestration is the arrangement of music for an orchestra, determining which instruments play which parts.

The term extends to any careful coordination of multiple elements: the orchestration of a political campaign, the orchestration of a complex merger.

In computing, orchestration refers to automated coordination of software systems and services.

The underlying idea is always bringing many parts into coordinated action.
