The ensemble screens in this musicology section of Musical Discovery permit browsing (in alphabetical order by ensemble name) through the database of ensembles, with a brief description of each ensemble, and a handy table of themes, extracts or full pieces played by this ensemble. Classifications include Big Band, Orchestra, String Quartet, Trad jazz band, and so on.
You can listen to any listed piece of music by clicking on the appropriate row in the lower section of the screen. This then plays the music, and you can stop or pause it using the buttons on the PlayBar at the foot of the screen. Also you can use the slider to move forward or back to any desired part of the music. As an alternative to clicking the buttons with the mouse, the space bar can be used to start or pause the music, or use F2 to play and F3 to stop.
To move to a different ensemble, you can either click on the Next Ensemble or Previous Ensemble buttons, or else use the shortcut keys Page Down for the next ensemble, and Page Up, for the previous ensemble. The First and Last buttons take you to the beginning or end of the list of ensembles. At top right, there is also a search facility. Click on the arrow for a drop-down list of ensembles, scroll down, then click on the desired ensemble.
