   • 12 July 2012, Sam Adams, AV Club Ice Age: Continental Drift

     On paper, Continental Drift boasts a jaw-dropping voice cast, including but not limited to Jennifer Lopez, Patrick Stewart, Wanda Sykes, Aziz Ansari, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Nicki Minaj, Drake, and Alan Tudyk. But in practice, the overstuffed ensemble leaves the cast no room to distinguish themselves, and directors Steve Martino and Michael Thurmeier don’t seem interested in coaxing performances that might render their money stars less identifiable.

4. (Can we add an example for this sense?) (music) A piece for several instrumentalists or vocalists.
5. (mathematics, physics) A probability distribution for the state of the system.

When the subject of the verb is the collective noun ensemble followed by a predicate complement, the verb usually agrees with ensemble. In this case, the focus lies on the collective whole referred to by ensemble.
Though less common, it is not considered incorrect for the verb to agree with the grammatically plural predicate complement. In this case, the focus shifts to the individual elements of the collective whole. Plural agreement is more common with the indefinite article un modifying ensemble (i.e. un ensemble).[2]
