Timbre refers to the quality of sound of voices
and instruments
The orchestra is a group of musicians who play
different kinds of instruments that are grouped
into different sections.
Look at the picture

This is how the orchestra looks on the stage.

The arrangements of the orchestra have
following objectives or purposes.
* Sounds must be balanced.
* There should be unity, style and mood.
*The tones should be fine with proper
tone color.
Let’s now proceed to the music instruments
used in orchestra to know them better and how
they use.
A. String Section- “The poet of the orchestra.”
this section is the largest body of instruments in
an orchestra because it consists of the first
violins, second violins, violas, cello or
violoncello and double basses.

Bow- this is the stick used in playing the string

Instruments.

1. Violin- the smallest and the highest sounding

of the strings.

2. Viola- little larger than the violin. Its sound is

lower and deeper than a violin because the
strings are thicker than that of a violin

3. Cello or violincello- the player is seated with

the cello between his knees. It has a deep and
low sound. The cello was given a powerful solo
in the “Carnival of the Animals” by SaintSaens.
The instrument represented the proud
swan.
4. Double bass- is also called string bass or
simply bass. It is the largest of the string
instruments and has the lowest pitch.

5. Harp- is considered the most beautiful

instrument in the orchestra because of its
graceful lines and golden color.

B. Winds- are instruments in which the sounds

are produced by the vibration of air as player
blows through its hole.
There are two kinds of wind instruments; these
are the woodwinds and brasses.
1. Woodwinds- include the highest sounding
instruments to the lowest tones.
a. Piccolo- means “small” in Italy. It is the
smallest and has the highest pitch among the
woodwinds. Its size is half of the flute

b. Flute- consists of a tube with a series of

finger holes or keys in which the wind is
directed against a sharp edge
c. Oboe- is a soprano range, double reed
instrument

d. Clarinet- a cylindrical tube with a single

reed attached to its mouthpiece.

e. Bassoon- is the largest instrument of the

woodwind family with the lowest pitch.

f. Saxophone- is played with a single-reed

mouth piece similar to that of the clarinet.

2. Brasses- wind instruments that are made of

brass. They are also called labrosones or “lip
vibrated instruments” because the air vibrated
with the player’s lips as he produces its sound.
a. Trumpet- has the highest sound among the
brass family. It is also the most common among
the brass family.
b. French horn or Horn- brass made of coiled
tubes with flared bell-shaped opening. It
produces the alto sound among the brass family
c. Euphonium- or the tenor tuba.
d. Trombone- the only brass without a valve.
The player changes the pitch of a trombone
through a slide.
e. Tuba- the lowest sounding brass instrument.
It provides a lovely rich full warm sound.
C. Percussions- musical instruments that are
sounded by being struck, beaten, hit, shaken or
tapped.
There are to classifications of percussions these
are the pitched or tuned percussions and
unpitched or unturned percussions.
1. Pitched or Tuned percussions- notes from
these percussions are identifiable. They can
play melodies and have its pitches adjusted.
a. Glockenspiel- its key is arranged as a piano.
It is hit with mallets to produce a pleasant
“chime sounds.” This high-pitched instrument
with metal keys or plates is usually played two
octaves above the written music. This
instrument looks like a xylophone without legs
b. Xylophone- similar to the glockenspiel
except for its wooden keys. It is tuned to a
specific scale. It is played with 2 or 4 mallets in
each hand.
c. Tubular bells- are struck with soft ended
mallets.
d. Timpani- are also known as kettle drum due
to its shape. It is made of copper with a skin
stretched over the top.
e. Marimba- is made up of wooden keys with
resonators to amplify the sounds when being
struck by mallets. Lowe range than that of the
xylophone.
2. Unpitched or untuned percussions- have
indefinite percussions. They are used solely to
add rhythms and aural color with them
interesting sounds.

The best thing to enjoy an orchestra is

giving pleasure and inspiration through the
harmonious combinations of the different
sounds of the instrument.
