In music, we use classical to describe a style, and specifically to describe a period of history from approximately the last half of the eighteenth century through the first decade of the 19th Century. Yet, we will be concerned with the last half of the eighteenth century, because it was during this time that classical style coalesced and emerged as a distinct moment, largely due to the appearance of one of the brightest and most creative human beings to have ever lived: Mozart. http://www.nyu.edu/classes/gilbert/classic/classic.html      Classical music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In analogy to how in the Western world the "classical" period for art and architecture was defined as Greek and Roman antiquity, in music also a certain period in the evolution of a musical tradition can be marked as classical: Other "classical music" traditions have no regional references any more in their name, but only refer to the cultural entity to which they belong, for example: For Western classical music this is the Classical music era, a period of about 50 years starting in the second half of the 18th century (with Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven as its most famous exponents). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_music      NYU Course: Music Literature--The Classical Period Europe really didn't have any music models from Greek antiquity to revive, so the classical musical spirit gathered a momentum of its own, fired by the energy of the visual arts of painting, sculpture, and architecture.

Classical and popular music are often distinguished by their choice of instruments. Many instruments which are associated today with popular music used to have important roles in early classical music, such as bagpipes, vilhuela, hurdy-gurdy and some woodwind instruments. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_classical_music   (2388 words)      Classical music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In analogy to how in the Western world the "classical" period for art and architecture was defined as Greek and Roman antiquity, in music also a certain period in the evolution of a musical tradition can be marked as classical: Classical music is music considered classical, as sophisticated and refined, in a regional tradition.

Matteo, "Henry Fielding's 'Big Muse'" Instead, the classical chronotope is integrally situated in an aesthetic nexus that relates the novel as a genre to literary forebears in classical antiquity. And, the classical chronotope, especially when it can admit to vulgarity, sexual scandal and money-grubbing, is an ideal vehicle for the Narrator to assert his innovation in narrative form and thereby lay claim to literary posterity. Literary interpretation of the classical tradition in the novel is, to use the language of Mikhail Bakhtin, torn between the poles of the centripetal and centrifugal forces of culture; and, the antinomian character of classical allusion deserves further attention. http://home.gwu.edu/~camatteo/big-muse.html   (5706 words)      Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust! The Classical tradition was not extinguished during the Middle Ages, but because of the resolute efforts of 15th- and 16th-century Italians to absorb the Classicism of antiquity, the Italian Renaissance was the first period of thoroughgoing Classicism after antiquity. Periods of Classicism in literature and music have generally coincided with the Classical periods in the visual arts. In the context of the tradition, Classicism refers either to the art produced in antiquity or to later art inspired by that of antiquity; Neoclassicism always refers to the art produced later but inspired by antiquity. http://www.britannica.com/ebc/print_toc?tocId=9024235   (1120 words)      Courses available 2004-05: Undergraduate degree in Classics The Classical Tripos approaches the study of classical antiquity through the original sources; candidates for admission to the three year course normally possess an A2 or AS level in Latin.
