The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra - Animation

[trainliker]

Nicely presented. I once had a humor music dictionary that made fun of many of the instruments. Such as, "There is the English Horn, which is neither English, nor a horn." And, "An oboe is an ill wind that nobody blows good." And, "The reason the orchestra has so many violins is to increase the probability that at least one might play on pitch."

They really were like “but don’t forget the In the string section animation lol. Which I loved.

[shihshih]

Can you do one with all the individual instruments in the work please? Can't imagine how helpful it will be for IGCSE music students.

As a composer I like it quite a bit. But regarding "of course, the harp" it's a bit more complicated than being just a sting instrument. It is also commonly regarded as a percussive instrument. I think it's wiser to regard the harp as its own section because when people usually speak of string instruments in orchestra they mean first and foremost the typical bowing timbers. Of course, there's pizzicato technics but they are far less frequently used. But the main point of deviding instruments into sections for a composer is to put timbral colours into tool boxes and majority of the time strings and the harp are very different.
