The modern orchestra really didn't take shape until the early Baroque period (early 1600's), although there were brass ensembles and string ensembles in the 1500's. Almost all music was sacred NOT secular until Monteverdi's opera in the early 1600's, "Orpheo." And, not until the 1800's did secular music overtake sacred music in quantity. I disagree with you on rock. It is very destructive IMO. However, your point about C&W is well taken. I HATE C&W...yuch! There were no orchestras in the 1400′s.
