orchestrationArt of choosing which instruments to use for a given piece of music. The sections of the orchestra historically were separate ensembles: the stringed instruments for indoors, the woodwind instruments for outdoors, the horns for hunting, and trumpets and drums for battle or royal ceremony.

The first great orchestration text was written by Hector Berlioz in 1844. How to thank TFD for its existence?
