Orchardson
WILLIAM QUIL- LER, an English genre painter; born in Edinburgh, in 1835, where subsequently he studied under Scott Lauder at the Trustees' Academy; became A. R.A. in 1868, R. A. in 1877, and received a Medal of Honor at the Paris Exposition, in ORCHOMENOS circular area, included by the straight line which bounded the stage in front of the first row of the ascending steps. In the Greek theater this space was always occupied by the chorus. In Roman comedy there was no chorus; and in Roman tragedies, both the chorus and the musicians were placed upon the stage itself, the whole of the orchestra being reserved for the senators. In modern theaters, etc.: (1) The place where the band, or band and chorus, are placed in modern concert-rooms, theaters, etc. (2) The collection of instruments of varied compass and quality of tone which constitutes a full band. There are no orchestral scores earlier than the latter part part of the 16th century, so all statements as to concerted instrumental music before that time are wholly conjectural.
