It's called a Glockenspiel. A percussion instrument that produces tuned pitches by striking tuned metal strips arranged similarly in fashion to the piano.
Not necessarily, Orchestras employ tubular bells which are tunable and can sound out certain tunes, of necessity they are used for accents, and not anything resembling lead violin, or even second -string. The tubular bells were employed in popular music in the theme from (The Exorcist) which had a certain mysterious, occult sonority. actually the musical composition itself was called ( Tubular bells) often used in a much lighter venue such as Christmas songs, naturally!
It's Frank Sinatra's Jingle Bells version from his album, "The Sinatra Christmas Album". It features the Gordon Jenkins' Orchestra and background singers.
oh thats easy! the difference is that band has brass, woodwinds, and percussion instruments such as: trumpets, trombones, baritones, tubas, clarinets, flutes, saxophones, oboes, bells, and drums. orchestra is where you have instruments such as: violins, chelos, viola, and the base. Hope this helped! :)
The song is actually called Christmas Eve/ Sarajevo 12/24, and it's on their cd: Christmas Eve and Other Stories
The orchestra's initial cacophony became the introduction of the song.
There are basically four sections to a symphony orchestra... Brass (trumpets, trombones etc) Woodwind (oboes, clarinets etc) Strings (violin, viola etc) and... Percussion (xylophone, tubular bells etc)
