orchestral
Orchestral refers to anything related to, performed by, or suitable for an orchestra. An orchestra is a large group of musicians who play various instruments together, usually including strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion. Therefore, orchestral can describe music composed for or performed by such a group, or it can refer to the group itself. It can also refer to something that resembles an orchestra in its complexity and coordination.

Examples of orchestral in a Sentence
Dateline Mesopotamia, 3500 B.C. That's when the multi-faceted sounds we call music got its humble beginnings. It seems clappers were sent out the the fields to scare evil spirits away. These clappers started getting into the beat of their duty and, bingo, you got drums. From there, horns, strings, reeds, the whole orchestral gestalt. So, born in staving off death, music continues to nourish us in a variety of forms as different as the colors of the spectrum.
