Concerto Grosso No. 1 for string orchestra with piano obbligato is a 1925 concerto grosso composed by Ernest Bloch.
La tempesta di mare ("The Storm at Sea"), a flute concerto in F Major (RV 433; P. 261), is the first of Six Flute Concertos, Op. 10 by Antonio Vivaldi, published in the late 1720s.
 "La tempesta di mare" may also refer to two earlier versions of the same concerto, RV 98, a concerto da camera (chamber concerto) featuring the flute, from which Vivaldi derived the concerto grosso RV 570.
Ralph Vaughan Williams {'1': ", '2': ", '3': ", '4': "} ( 12 October 1872– 26 August 1958) was an English composer.
 His works include operas, ballets, chamber music, secular and religious vocal pieces and orchestral compositions including nine symphonies, written over nearly fifty years.
 Strongly influenced by Tudor music and English folk-song, his output marked a decisive break in British music from its German-dominated style of the 19th century.
Concerto da camera, or in English chamber concerto, originally was one of the two types of concerto grosso, the other being the "concerto da chiesa" ("church concert").
 The concerto da camera had the character of a suite, being introduced by a prelude and incorporating popular dance forms.
 Antonio Vivaldi and Georg Philipp Telemann were great exponents of this form of music.
 Later it became a popular name for any concerto in a chamber music or chamber orchestra setting.
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.
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.
A solo concerto is a concerto in which a single soloist is accompanied by an orchestra.
 It is the most frequent type of concerto.
 It originated in the Baroque Period (c. 1600–1750) as an alternative to the traditional concertino (solo group of instruments) in a concerto grosso.
Jazz Concerto Grosso (full title Gerry Mulligan Bob Brookmeyer Play Phil Sunkel's Jazz Concerto Grosso) is an album by American jazz musicians Gerry Mulligan and Bob Brookmeyer featuring performances of compositions by Phil Sunkel recorded in 1957 and released on the ABC-Paramount label.
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.
