Symphonic

Description

Symphonic music is characterized by its large-scale orchestral compositions, often featuring complex structures and a wide range of instrumental colors. It typically involves an orchestra and can include elements like dynamic contrasts, thematic development, and rich harmonies.

History

The symphonic genre evolved from the classical symphony, which gained prominence in the late 18th century. It was further developed during the Romantic period, where composers expanded the size of the orchestra and the emotional range of the music. The genre continued to evolve into the 20th century, incorporating modern elements and sometimes blending with other genres.
