Orchestration -- in OED?

[Joel S. Berson]

And anyhow, a massive organ would produce not
orchestration but the world's largest orgasmation.

But perhaps there's little difference.  The OED cites:
1954   D. P. Geddes Anal. Kinsey Rep. 23   Orgasm
in sexual intercourse..can be likened to the
crescendo, climax, and sudden stillness achieved
by an orchestra of human emotions.

Although this quotation continues:
Kinsey has likened it to an explosion of tensions, and to sneezing.
