The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra is an orchestra composition written in 1945, by Benjamin Britten, and premiered in Liverpool, England, on October 15, 1946. The work was requested by the UK Ministry of Education and used in “Instruments of the Orchestra”, a short film meant to educate about music (Bridcut, 2012). The following paragraph gives a short description of the composition and its instrumental families.
The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra is played by a symphony orchestra that includes woodwinds, brass, percussion and stringed instruments. Two flutes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two oboes and a piccolo represent the woodwinds instrumental family. Four horns, two trumpets, three trombones and bass tuba belong to the brass family. Whip, tam-tam, castanets, xylophone, wood block, snare drum, triangle, tambourine, cymbals, bass drum and timpani form percussion. Stringed family is represented by harp, first and second violins, violas, cellos and double basses (Schwarm, 2016). The composition was written in a way of showing the capabilities of each section of an orchestra. While the introduction is played by the entire orchestra, starting with the woodwinds, followed by stringed, brass and, in the end, percussion instruments, each further variation is played by a separate instrumental family, starting with the higher and moving to the lower-pitched instruments. The orchestra reassembles again in the final theme, written in the form of fugue (Schwarm, 2016). Instruments overlap, introducing a new melody. The original theme is played again in the grand finale.
The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra introduces listeners to contrasting sounds of instruments and entire instrumental families. It also exposes them to musical forms of previous centuries. Benjamin Britten has allowed each instrument to have the stage in the sequence of instrumental leaps, while the background is occupied by different melodic ideas, making the composition not just a great sound piece, but an educational example for those, who begin to learn about music and orchestra.

To the writers at EssaysEmpire.com: Next week, I will be graduating with a degree in clinical psychology. Over the course of my college years, I have had to turn to you for help many times. Each and every time, you produced some of the highest quality writing my professors had ever seen. Because of you, I was able to keep a high grade point average and get into an excellent grad school. There are simply no words adequate enough to fully express my appreciation, so I’ll simply say, “thank you” and let it go at that. Please know that you are appreciated. |

I submitted my order as a ‘rush order’. I only had 2 days to get my paper finished and I just felt like I was sinking. I didn’t understand the material I was writing about, and I didn’t know what I was going to do. My friend recommended EssaysEmpire.com. I had very little lost by attempting to use this writing service, so I did. It was an excellent move on my part, because, not only was my paper finished on time. It was also excellently written. I will always be grateful to my friend for recommending your service. It is wonderful. |

I don’t see how anyone could write a paper about something as boring as the psychology of the two year old, could make it sound so interesting, but your writers managed to pull it off. Thank you for putting forth such a concerted effort to do a good job. I really appreciate it. I will use your service again |

I am 100% satisfied with the writer that you assigned to my project. This person understood exactly what I needed, even though I’m not the best communicator and the instructions were tedious and difficult. I felt certain I would have to send my paper back for a number of revisions, but I didn’t. The writer was able to convey exactly what I wished to express and he did it in record time!Thanks for everything. EssaysEmpire.com is the greatest! |

Your writing service is different from other writing services. Yours is the only one I have ever dealt with that I can truthfully say is legitimate. The staff is very professional. The writers are the best in the business. I am pleased with the results of my last three orders and plan to return for more soon. |
