symphonic music
Symphonic music refers to compositions created for a symphony orchestra, typically involving a large ensemble of musicians playing strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion instruments. These works often consist of multiple movements, each with varying themes and moods. Symphonic music aims to convey emotions and tell stories through rich harmonies and complex structures. Famous composers like Beethoven, Mozart, and Brahms contributed significantly to this genre. A symphony, which is a primary form of symphonic music, usually lasts around 30 minutes to an hour and showcases the orchestra's full range and capabilities.
