What is a "consort"?

A consort is a group of musical instruments or voices that perform together, typically consisting of members from the same family or type. For example, a consort might include various types of string instruments or different kinds of recorders, all tuned to blend well with one another. Consorts can be small, such as a consort of viols, or larger, depending on the number and type of instruments or voices involved. The members of a consort work together to produce a harmonious and unified sound, with each instrument or voice complementing the others.
