In two to four paragraphs, explain what happened musically as Britten introduced the orchestral instruments. Include a discussion of: the order in which the instruments introduced the theme, as heard in the first 2:00 minutes of the piece;
why the composer might have chosen to use different sections of the orchestra to play at different times; and
how this piece helps you gain a better understanding of the orchestra.
Music appreciation

Britten used a variety of instruments from different families and changed the traditional order. He started with the woodwinds, then strings, then brass, and percussion. He started with the highest pitched instruments in each of the families. This made the differences in the timbers of different sections of the orchestra more clear.  

The composer might have chosen to use different sections of the orchestra to play at different times to convey different sounds or emotions. Playing at different times does this by putting the spotlight on a specific group of instruments this helps build variety and expense through the peice of music

This piece helps me gain a better understanding of the orchestra by letting me hear the different parts and get a better all around understanding of what they were about this helps quite a bit long term as we are then able to identify when this or a similar orchestra are playing in the future

Explanation:

the articles of confederation only set up the continental congress at the federal level. there were no executive or judicial branches except within the states. the states were allowed to keep every right that was not specifically given to congress. the bonding of the states was through a 'firm league of friendship' that best served as a defense agreement against invasion. states were not allowed to use taxes as a way to discourage treaties, and states were extremely limited in their dealings with foreign nations.

not many historians today talk about the strengths of the articles of confederation, likely because of how unpopular the document quickly became. the articles did set the legislative body, congress, as the highest power in the nation because of the fear of monarchy. congress had the sole power to declare war, assign treaties, entertain foreign relations, and operate post offices. disputes between states and territorial issues were to be brought to congress. the document also stipulated that canada was allowed to enter the union if they desired.

there were more weaknesses than strengths under the articles of confederation. the lack of power given to the continental congress strangled the federal government. the articles gave congress the power to pass laws but no power to enforce those laws. if a state did not support a federal law, that state could simply ignore it. congress had no power to levy taxes or regulate trade. without a federal court system or executive leader, there would be no way to enforce these laws, either. amending the articles of confederation would also require a unanimous decision, which would be extremely difficult.
