I don't know if this is correct but it is the way in which I think of the 3, Orchestration and Choreography are methods of Composition. In the Orchestrated version services are invoked to create a business process in a prescribed, repeatable, controlled order (both sync and async). With choreography, the business process is the result of services invoking other services in an order that is the result of the logical processes of the services and could change, with each event that triggers the 1st service.
