| | Classical music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the English language, the term "classical music" is a homophoric reference to European classical music and its derivative styles, and is rarely used to refer to traditional musical styles of other regions. | | | It is with respect to this latter canon that the term 'classical music' was first used, in the 1820s and 1830s, denote a body of music that was compared to the classical traditions of art, sculpture and architecture of Ancient Greece and Rome. | | | modern Western or through institutions or traditions (typically religious) dedicated to transmission of specific schools of music. |

| | European classical music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The term classical music did not appear until the early 19th century, in an attempt to 'canonize' the period from Bach to Beethoven as an era in music parallel to the golden age of sculpture, architecture and art of classical antiquity, (from which of course no music has directly survived). | | | 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. |

| | Ironically, the first classical composers to absorb some of the techniques and ideas of jazz into their work were not American at all, but those such as Martinů, Milhaud, and Stravinsky, working in Paris in the early 1920s. | | | Ned Rorem (born 1923) is probably better known for his provocative books of musical autobiography and criticism than for his music. | | | It is difficult not to come to the conclusion that in terms of musical impact, and in the reflection of the wider human condition and the narrower expression of the ethos and ideas of the day, no American composer has yet matched their major European counterparts. |

| | The other choruses in European classical music are: ten choruses in conservatories, thirty choruses in the music departments of higher education, another thirty choruses in universities, five choruses belonging to the Ankara-based Polyphonic Choruses Association, polyphonic choruses of Ankara and Mersin, chorus of the Blind Citizens Society, and other private choruses. | | | Although during the early years of the Republic, a "Presidential Fasil Group" was established which performed Turkish classical music, Tanburi Cemil's son Mesut Cemil Bey was the first to establish a large chorus, similar to the European counterparts, at the Ankara State Radio in 1937. | | | Thus, it is in considerable contrast to the Turkish art music. |

| | For, in the early 20th century, "as long as" serious composers, "stuck to the diatonic scale...their music had a tiresome way of sounding as though it might have been written before 1900." Non-serious composers, "thought they continued to use those hoary old formulas, and yet somehow their music was of the twentieth century. | | | 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: | | | Seen as a collection of distinct and/or overlapping European traditions in music with, amongst others, |

| | There may be some readers who find my portrayal of classical music as a crystallized art form (and I am not the first to propose such a notion) disappointing, possibly even distressing. | | | It seems that everyone interested in classical music has to declare her or his position on the burning issue: is it still alive, dying, or already laid out in lavender? | | | Classical music's enshrined position in our culture assures its continued survival for many years to come. |

| | Besides bringing musical influences from other cultures, the Mughal empire encouraged the appreciation of music as an upper-class, court activity, in much the same way that European classical music was mainly supported by the court aristocracy through the Baroque and Classical periods. | | | North Indian and South Indian classical music are two distinct traditions, but they share many similarities. | | | The Hindustani tradition has been more influenced through the years by other peoples and musical traditions, particularly by the Moghul (or Mughal) invasion and empire. |

| | What is Early Music? |
| | This is something which early music gives to contemporary music-making as a whole, something which may prove enormously productive as early music moves firmly into the popular consciousness of the 21st century. | | | This is a fairly noticeable change, historically speaking, as earlier music frequently was not performed even a few decades after it was written. | | | For instance, the history of musical revival in England is quite involved, leading to many ramifications for different performance styles today. |
