Orchestral Music

Orchestral music made its grand entrance in the late 17th century, primarily strutting its stuff in the courts of Europe, proving once and for all that fine dining and fine music are often intertwined. Characterised by the lavish use of strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion, it often sounds like a harmonious argument among musicians who secretly fancy each other. Its cultural impact is monumental, as it's the genre that taught us it’s possible to tell a heart-wrenching story without uttering a single word, leaving us all puzzled yet profoundly moved.
