Benjamin Britten's composition "A Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra" introduces different sections of the orchestra. It begins with a full orchestra theme based on a melody by Henry Purcell. Britten then features individual instrument variations, including woodwinds, strings, brass, and percussion.
