there are two main usage of the term, "classical". first,it is a term that denotes historical period of development. In music and other branches of arts, this period implies the general characteristics of harmony, balance, simplicity and elegance, which took place from 1750 to 1800. among the famous composers of the classical period were Mozart and Haydn.
The second usage the one that refers to the name of the musical genre - Classical Music, that covers a very wide range of musical styles and period, whether baroque, classical, or romantic, with a general impression of elegance, grandeur and majesty. Therefore, every musical work that is written especially on the common practice era, 1600-1900, can be classified as classical. although medieval chants and rennaissance motets like that of Da Pallestrina can also appear in the classical music genre, there is still no justification of confusion, because they are still one of the fore fathers and great foundations of musical development aside from what have been mentioned above. In other words, in order for a composition to be classified as classical, they must posses any or whole of the following classical characteristics mentioned above, second, they must be written between 1600-1900, third, must be one of the musical styles where our present and contemporary and pop music forms of the modern day, evolved and lastly, must be sacred in nature, because, generally sacred music always fall on the classical category.
the term classical also denotes zenith and golden age, so in a historical perspective, classical era is used! for example, the period of enlightenment during the early baroque period is also termed as classical revival, whereas, it is the golden age of reasoning! now, the difference between classical Greek and Roman is their origin. obviously, classical style with a greek origin can be called as classical Greek and for Rome, classical roman.

What is the difference between a jazz orchestra and a classical orchestra?
I believe the most single difference between the two is the size. In many instances, a city, etc will board two groups usually made up of many of the same number. In the "old": days because of economical constraints, the smaller group was thought to play somewhat lighter classics, [and] probably would not attempt "The Ting" (Wagner, Beethoven's 9th.) Today I think probably the line is more vague, or perhaps on (the smaller) would perhaps more light classical, if not downright parochial. {one amateurish explanation!} Different answer than from above: It's pretty simple, the classical orchestra was the orchestra during the classical period, i.e the later 1700s, the time of Mozart, Haydn and the like. The orchestras consisted of strings, simple brass instruments like the the natural trumpet and the slide trombone, clarinets, flutes, bassoon sometimes. The percussion section was pretty much just Timpani. As time has moved on the orchestra has had things added. The horn in the 1800s, various percussion instruments etc. What you have to remember was that the strings during the classical period were the main orchestra and the winds were there for colour, whereas when we move on to the romantic period colour became much more important and in a lot of modern music, tone colour and sound is more important than melody and harmony in the classical sense.
