sinfonía

The Italian opera overture, or sinfonia, evolved into the autonomous orchestral symphony by way of a three-part form (fast-slow-fast) that became standard in the late 17th century.

noun,plural sym·pho·nies. Music. an elaborate instrumental composition in three or more movements, similar in form to a sonata but written for an orchestra and usually of far grander proportions and more varied elements.

From Latin symphonia, from Ancient Greek συμφωνία (sumphōnía); the form of the word is possibly after Italian sinfonia.

The Classical symphony form typically begins with an allegro rondo or sonata in 4/4 time, with a slow second movement, a 3/4 minuet third movement, and another allegro rondo or sonata as its fourth movement. More contemporary symphonies are less structured.

The opera sinfonia, or Italian overture had, by the 18th century, a standard structure of three contrasting movements: fast, slow, fast and dance-like. It is this form that is often considered as the direct forerunner of the orchestral symphony.

A symphony is the name of a type of classical music (a long, complex sonata) and the large orchestra that plays that music. If you go to a concert hall to see a piece of Beethoven or another composer, you're going to hear a symphony - a type of complicated, orchestral music played by a symphony orchestra.

A symphony is made up of four sections called movements. Each movement follows its own structure or format. The first uses a quick tempo and follows sonata-allegro form; the second is slower and more lyrical; the third is a minuet or scherzo and the final movement often uses sonata-allegro form.

A symphony is an orchestra's large-scale musical composition, usually requiring 50-80 instruments. Symphonies refer to the music, not the musicians performing it, and similar to stage plays, they may have several movements or acts of, often complex, elaborate classical music.

Symphonies emerged from Italy's Neopolitan School, founded by Alessandro Scarlatti, as overtures for operas around the 1700s. The word "symphony" comes from sinfonia: derived from the Greek syn meaning "together" and phonê meaning "voice, or sound", it meant, "playing together"; the perfect name for this new genre.

Sinfonia (IPA: [siɱfoˈniːa]; plural sinfonie) is the Italian word for symphony, from the Latin symphonia, in turn derived from Ancient Greek συμφωνία symphōnia (agreement or concord of sound), from the prefix σύν (together) and ϕωνή (sound).

A symphony is a specific form that many composers used when writing music. These pieces are usually large in scale, were written for a large orchestra, and are made up of four individual movements. A movement is a single piece of music, like a song on a rock album.

An outstanding late example of the three-movement Classical symphony is Mozart's Prague Symphony, from 1786. The four-movement form that emerged from this evolution was as follows: An opening sonata or allegro. A slow movement, such as andante.

Symphony comes from Greek roots that literally meaning “sounding together, harmony of sound.” It was borrowed into English as early as the 1200s. In classical music, a symphony is a type of elaborate, multipart composition in classical music.

Classical music not only nurtures our soul but grows our mind in ways that have been substantiated by myriad of studies over recent years. Exposing the very young to classical music has been documented to help develop language skills, reasoning, and spatial intelligence.
