symphonic music
Full orchestra compositions
Symphonic music is music composed for or performed by a symphony orchestra, typically featuring the full range of orchestral instruments—strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion—working together in complex arrangements.
The term encompasses symphonies proper but extends to any large-scale orchestral works including concertos, overtures, and tone poems.
The concert featured symphonic music from the Romantic period.
Symphonic can also describe non-orchestral music that has the scope or grandeur associated with orchestras.
