Yeah, thanks, tsuwm. How do you-all find these sites?? Look what the guy has on another page (the bolding is mine):
You have found your way to The Gallimaufry!
(gallim MAW free)
aka salmagundi, aka olio, aka melange, aka amalgam,
aka miscellany, aka hodge-podge, aka potpourri
All this really means is that I own a thesaurus.
This is a collection of small items that fit nowhere else.
And on another page begins his description of my favorite poet: William Blake was born 28 November 1757, third and strangest son of James Blake and his wife Catherine1. His life started off weird and never improved. (Is this guy from New Zealand?)

no, but his name is Kevin and he claims Green Bay for a home... hmmm, that's convenient to Chicago.... (hi musick!)

well, this one via "symphony vs. philharmonic", as it happens. :)

Herewith the 2002-2003 Subscription Series of the Cayuga Chamber Orchestra. Note that four of the five
concerts include symphonies.
Well, I had a look - you're right, of course - but I also looked at "Orchestra Personnel." Rather a lot of them for a chamber orchestra, aren't there?
Or what IS the definition of "chamber orchestra"? I tried looking that up in my trusty dic and couldn't find it. Are there a certain number of players, or is there a certain range of instruments, or some combination, or, like, what? [twirling-hair-snapping-gum e]

MG - Personally, I'd hope symphonies are "fond of music".
His life started off weird and never improved.
Written by a 'professional musician', no doubt.

Just because a composer intends thier werk to be played by 30 violins dosen't mean you can find 30 of 'em that you'd want to hear play at the same time... but I digress.

I think you need the music dictionary to look up chamber orchestra. I found some excerpts near the bottom of this page: http://www.shilakowskyarts.com/professorharrisshil.htmBasically it says that it used to mean a group where each instrument had a part (rather than being divided up into sections). The definition (apparently taken from the Oxford Dictionary of Music) goes on to say: There are organizations calling themselves 'Chamber Orchestra' that are merely small ordinary orchestra. The term is a new one and has not yet settled down to precise meaning...."So there you have it. FWIW.

Thanks Bean. I wondered if some sort of evolution of that sort was going on....since the Cayuga Chamber Orchestra seemed HUGE to me....
