STRUCTURE OF THE ORCHESTRA

Orchestra Arrangement

There are several reasons why the instruments of an orchestra are placed the way
they are.

1. Musicians are located and positioned accordingly to be able to see the
conductor easily.

2. All similar instruments are gathered together in several groups. This allows
the musicians to hear one another better to accomplish coordinated activities,
thus providing harmonic sounding.

3. The quantity of instruments and the sound volume of some specific
instrument are not equal. This specific placement allows different instrument
groups to achieve smooth (uniform) sound within the orchestra (as a whole).

4.Instruments with lower frequencies are usually located on the audience's
right and instruments with higher frequencies are located on the left.
The arrangement is divided into four groups: the strings , woodwind, brass and percussion instruments respectively according to the level of loudness of the instruments.
