WHAT DOES SINFONIA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Sinfonia

Sinfonia is the Italian word for symphony, from the Latin symphonia, in turn derived from Ancient Greek συμφωνία sumphōnia, from the prefix σύν and ϕωνή. In English it most commonly refers to a 17th- or 18th-century orchestral piece used as an introduction, interlude, or postlude to an opera, oratorio, cantata, or suite. In the Middle Ages down to as late as 1588, it was also the Italian name for the hurdy gurdy. Johann Sebastian Bach used the term for his keyboard compositions also known as Three-part Inventions, and in 20th-century usage it often is found in the names of chamber orchestras such as the Northern Sinfonia.
