The concerto grosso (] ; Italian for "big concert(o)", plural "concerti grossi" ] ) is a form of baroque music in which the musical material is passed between a small group of soloists (the "concertino") and full orchestra (the "ripieno" or "concerto grosso").
 This is in contrast to the solo concerto which features a single solo instrument with the melody line, accompanied by the orchestra.
Boccherini's Cello Concerto No. 2 in A major, G. 475 naturally takes the back seat to the Friedrich Grützmacher ever-famous arrangement of the B-flat Concerto.
 But no less attention was given to the A Major Concerto.
 This Concerto was arranged and reorchestrated by at least a half a dozen hands: Ottorino Respighi and Gaspar Cassadó are the most noted.
 Resphighi reorchestrated the Concerto, and changed the "Tutti" sections; adding winds and brass.
 Cassadó, on the other hand, rewrote the Concerto altogether.
 He wrote a Guitar Concerto for his colleague Andrés Segovia.
 Cassadó's arrangement features a string quartet, like a Concerto Grosso; and trumpet fanfares give the Concerto a Rodrigian feel.
George Balanchine to Antonio Vivaldi's "Concerto Grosso in B minor" and the first movement of his "Concerto Grosso in E major", Op. 3, nos. 10 and 12, respectively; in 1976 he added Arcangelo Corelli's "Sarabanda, Badinerie e Giga", second and third movements.
 The premiere took place on November 21, 1957, at City Center of Music and Drama, New York, with lighting by Mark Stanley.
 The original version placed the musicians on stage with a square dance caller calling the steps; from its 1976 revival the caller was eliminated, the orchestra placed in the pit, and a solo added for the "premier danseur" to the Corelli "Sarabanda".
 The Pacific Northwest Ballet restored the caller for one performance at the 2007 Vail International Dance Festival.
The Concerto for Horn and Strings is a concerto for horn and string orchestra in three movements by the English composer Gordon Jacob.
 The work was composed in 1951 for soloist Dennis Brain and premiered on 8 May 1951, with Jacob conducting the Riddick String Orchestra in Wigmore Hall, London.
 The piece has been regarded as one of the most popular horn concertos of the 20th century.
Palladio is a composition for string orchestra by Karl Jenkins, written in 1995.
 The title refers to the architect Andrea Palladio (1508–1580).
 The work in three movements is in the form of a concerto grosso.
 Motifs of the first movement, Allegretto, were used for a TV commercial of De Beers, "A Diamond Is Forever", from 1993.
In music, a motif    or motive is a short musical idea, a salient recurring figure, musical fragment or succession of notes that has some special importance in or is characteristic of a composition: "The motive is the smallest structural unit possessing thematic identity".
Concerto Grosso No. 1 for string orchestra with piano obbligato is a 1925 concerto grosso composed by Ernest Bloch.
The Concerti Grossi, Op. 6, or Twelve Grand Concertos, HWV 319–330, are 12 concerti grossi by George Frideric Handel for a concertino trio of two violins and violoncello and a ripieno four-part string orchestra with harpsichord continuo.
 First published by subscription in London by John Walsh in 1739, in the second edition of 1741 they became Handel's Opus 6.
 Taking the older concerto da chiesa and concerto da camera of Arcangelo Corelli as models, rather than the later three-movement Venetian concerto of Antonio Vivaldi favoured by Johann Sebastian Bach, they were written to be played during performances of Handel's oratorios and odes.
 Despite the conventional model, Handel incorporated in the movements the full range of his compositional styles, including trio sonatas, operatic arias, French overtures, Italian sinfonias, airs, fugues, themes and variations and a variety of dances.
 The concertos were largely composed of new material: they are amongst the finest examples in the genre of baroque concerto grosso.
Sinfonia concertante (] ; also called "symphonie concertante") is an orchestral work, normally in several movements, in which there are parts of solo instruments, generally two or more, contrasting of a group of soloists with the full orchestra.
 It emerged as a musical form during the Classical period of Western music from the Baroque concerto grosso.
 Sinfonia concertante encompasses the symphony and the concerto genres, a concerto in that soloists are on prominent display, and a symphony in that the soloists are nonetheless discernibly a part of the total ensemble and not preeminent.
 Sinfonia concertante is the ancestor of the double and triple concerti of the Romantic period of 19th century.
Concerto Grosso is a work for string orchestra by Ralph Vaughan Williams.
 Originally composed in 1950 for a performance by the Rural Schools Music Association conducted by Sir Adrian Boult, the piece is unique in that the orchestra is split into three sections based on skill: Concertino (Advanced), Tutti (Intermediate), and Ad Lib (Novice) which only plays open strings.
 The piece is in five movements, and performances generally run for 14 minutes.
