In this paper, we aim to define the concept of the sound plane and its relationship with the musical ensemble. We have further detailed the notion of the musical ensemble, emphasizing its formation as a gathering of multiple sound sources. Additionally, we have created several diagrams to present the structure of a musical ensemble, both choral and vocal-symphonic, as well as its evolution through different musical periods. Finally, we have made observations regarding the distribution of sound planes within various types of musical ensembles. All of these ideas have been presented from the perspective of the conductor, who must understand and apply them in the interpretation of a musical work.
