Summary/Abstract: The use of space as a musical parameter dates from the early period of the Renaissance.This aspect gradually became a very used parameter in building the dramaturgy of various worksfrom the Classical and Romantic periods. After the appearance and development of the electroacousticmusic, the idea of spatialization became a very important aspect of the entire trend. Fromthen, researchers developed various technologies and computer applications with which variousinstallations and pieces were and are created. In Phalaenopsis I for large orchestra I tried to createmultiple spatialization effects using different strategies: placing performers offstage, creating varioustrajectories by creating dialogues between different groups from the ensemble or just working withdynamics. The resulted colors or timbre where improved by the use of different combinations betweeninstruments, by using the organ and of course, by creating a rich acoustic environment.
