Example Sentences
Recent Examples on the Web The opera leans heavily on this orchestra’s storied opulent strings, as well as on its characterful winds and brasses, and precision at a large battery of percussion instruments (including a celesta, used frequently, in a cliché of dreaminess). 
New York Times, 20 Mar. 2022 Where the Velvets’ original got its druggy cool from John Cale’s celesta arpeggios and Sterling Morrison’s undulating bass, Stipe sings serenely over long, sustained notes, shimmering synths, and Willner’s strings. Kory Grow, Rolling Stone, 22 Sep. 2021 In Berio’s passages, eerie, atmospheric effects from the celesta and violins, noodlings and trills in the winds and thorny rhythmic interplay figure prominently. Tim Diovanni, Dallas News, 16 Apr. 2021 The ending, gently caressed by winds, horn and strings, with tinkling celesta, was magical.

Mark Swed, latimes.com, 6 Apr. 2018 They were joined by violinist Amy Schwartz Moretti, cellist Julie Albers, and pianist Roman Rabinovich, who also played celesta.
