Ashtyn Beck · Answer 1

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.
