Yes, the orchestra as we recognize it today began to develop during the Baroque period (approximately 1600-1750). This era saw the emergence of more standardized ensembles that included strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion, allowing for richer textures and greater complexity in musical compositions. Key composers like Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel contributed to this evolution, expanding the roles of different instruments within the orchestral framework. The Baroque period laid the groundwork for the orchestral traditions that would flourish in the Classical and Romantic periods.
