The term "instrumentation" originally referred to the process of equipping a musical composition with instruments. It emerged during the late 18th century when composers began to incorporate new instruments into their orchestras, such as the clarinet, flute, and bassoon. The word "instrumentation" was coined to describe the act of writing music for these new instruments and arranging the parts for the entire ensemble. Today, instrumentation refers not just to music, but also to scientific and engineering fields. In these contexts, it refers to the process of designing and selecting instruments for use in experiments, testing, or data collection.
