Peter says "O, musicians, because my heart itself plays "My heart is full of woe". O play me some merry dump, to comfort me."
"Heart's Ease" and "My Heart is Full of Woe" are popular songs of the time. The words of Heart's Ease are:
Sing care away, with sport and play,
For pastime is our pleasure;
If well we fare, for nought we care,
In mirth consists our treasure.
Let stupids lurk and drudges work,
We do defy their slav'ry;
He is a fool, that goes to school,
All we delight in brav'ry.
Peter thinks that singing this cheerful song will make him feel better about the death of Juliet.
Peter the Capulet servant asked the musicians to play a happy tune to ease his heavy heart. The musician refuse his request saying it would be inappropriate when the house was in mourning for Juliet.
Peter jokes with the musicians in Act 4 Scene 5. The jokes were probably funny then, but seem pretty lame now. We know it was intended to be comic relief because in one early printing of the play, the actor's name Kempe (Will Kempe, the comedian) is inserted instead of the character's name Peter.
It's called comic relief. Shakespeare almost always gave a bit for the comedian and it was always at a very dark part of the play, whether the comedian was a drunken porter, a gravedigger, or, as here, a foolish servant. It tended to relieve the tension a bit for a short while, making it easier to take the misery that follows. Othello has no comic relief and it is very difficult and dark.
Musicians. Oboes figure in the stage direction of eight of Shakespeare's plays. There is no direction of who is to play them, but presumably it was the company's musicians who did so.
The word "orchestra" is a noun. It refers to a group of musicians who play together, typically in a concert setting, and can also denote the area in a theater where the musicians perform.
Heart's Ease
Peter instructs the musicians to play "heart's ease" because he believes it will bring comfort and solace to the somber moment. The music is meant to provide a sense of peace and respite amidst the tragedy of Juliet's death, offering a brief moment of calm in the mourning process.

Musicians can improve their playing technique by developing limb independence through practicing exercises that focus on each limb separately, such as drum rudiments or piano exercises. This helps to strengthen coordination and control, allowing musicians to play more complex rhythms and patterns with ease.
