How many years has the triangle been in the orchestra?

Answer 1

In the 11th century the first orchestras were made up of small group musicians performing for festivals, but the true modern orchestras didn't start until the late 16th century. The growth of the orchestra was based largely upon works written by composers, which continued to increase in scope as time went by, requiring new members of the orchestra to play the works. Notbale "expanders" of the orchestra would be Beethoven, who brought the piccolo into the orchestra with his fifth symphony, Wagner, who greatly expanded the brass section, Berlioz, who made more extensive use of the harp in the orchestra than anyone before him, and so on. Today, a standard symphony orchestra is anywhere from 90-105 players.

Answer 2

The Orchestra first appears in ancient Egypt where groups of musicians gathered and played - the Romans discouraged the practice and following the fall of the Roman Empire the "orchestras" started to reappear once more. In the 11th century we saw more ranges of similar instruments appear where they varied in size and the octave they played in.

The modern orchestras began in the late sixteenth century when composers were writing music for instrumental groups. The instruments used were not those found today in the orchestra. Flutes, oboes, horns, and trumpets became part of the typical orchestra by the early eighteenth century. A typical classical orchestra also included clarinets, bassoons, violins, violas, cellos, basses, and timpani.
