Of course we have our own Philippine Orchestra, and they are: Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra (national orchestra), the Manila Symphony Orchestra, Manila Philharmonic Orchestra, Filharmonika Orchestra, UST and UP symphony orchestras, PREDIS Chamber Group, Metro Manila Concert Orchestra,the Peace Philharmonic Philippines (Cebu), and many more small strings and wind orchestras in many parts of the Philippines. We also include the California based Fil-Am Symphony Orchestra founded in 2009. Thank you....
As the name suggests, a wind ensemble is made up entirely of wind instruments (woodwinds and brass), though it can also use percussion. There are no strings. Meanwhile, the symphony orchestra is mostly strings, with some winds as well.
The saxophone is used primarily in jazz/big band and concert wind ensembles. It is not commonly used in a symphony orchestra with the exception of a few saxophone concerto's.
There are more than you might think! These are the professional orchestras I know of:Nashville SymphonyMemphis Symphony OrchestraKnoxville Symphony OrchestraMurfreesboro Symphony OrchestraChattanooga SymphonyBryan Symphony Orchestra (Cookeville)Jackson Symphony OrchestraSymphony of the Mountains (Kingsport)Sorry if I missed your town, please add it in! It's a big state.In addition, there are youth orchestras attached to almost all of the above; there are some fine community/volunteer orchestras and university orchestras as well.An interesting side of the orchestral musician's life in Tennessee is that the orchestras in the smaller cities usually program fewer concerts, so it is possible for a musician to play in more than one orchestra. In fact, some wind players (who may or may not be required for everything an orchestra plays) work on a contract basis with three or four different orchestras over the course of a season.
Beethoven scored for the entire symphony orchestra. However, many of his compositions were also for string quartets, string trios, wind quintets, wind octets, and so on. If the voice can be considered an instrument, not many people area aware that Beethoven wrote well over a hundred liedeer, or songs. Beethoven was the first composer to score the human voice as an instrument within the symphony (9th Symphony). In addition, Beethoven was well known for his piano compositions, in particular the piano concertos and the piano sonatas.
