The Evolution of Modern Orchestration, by Louis A. Coerne, Part 1

Let's sleep to sonorous notes about the history of the modern orchestra. This time, we work our way forward from antiquity, ponder the parallel musical tracks of church and village, and name a lot of instruments that most today have never heard of, like the crwth. Yes, that's a real thing.   Help us stay ad-free and 100% listener-supported!
