| | Music genre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | John Zorn, for example, a musician whose work has covered a wide range of genres, wrote in Arcana: Musicians on Music that genres are tools used to "commodify and commercialize an artist's complex personal vision". | | | Categorizing music by genre does make it easier to trace threads through music history, and makes it easier for individuals to find artists that they enjoy. | | | Moreover, the use of genre labels may actually drive the development of new music (especially in a commercial context) insofar as it helps cultivate the interest and participation of a target audience in the early and middle stages of a musical trend. |

| | Popular Music and Society: Making sense out of postmodern music? |
| | Even though European music has reflected some mixing of cultures for hundreds of years, and some composers in the first half of the twentieth century have made use of genre mixing, there are notable distinctions that set postmodern music apart from music that came before the 1960s. | | | This essay will approach postmodern music from the standpoint of genre mixing, one of its prominent characteristics. | | | In music, this trend has manifested itself with the movement away from twelve-tone and serial techniques and toward the merging of varied musical systems, genres, and historically disparate styles (including modern concepts) into single compositions. |

| | Sonata (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The piano sonatas of Scriabin would begin from standard forms of the late romantic period in music, but would progressively abandon the formal markers which were taught, and would be composed as single movement works, he is sometimes thought of as a composer on the boundary between romantic and modern practice of the sonata. | | | The role of the sonata as the an extremely important form of extended musical argument would inspire composers such as Hindemith, Prokofiev, Shostakovich to compose in sonata form, and works in traditional sonata structure continue to be composed and performed. | | | Carl Czerny declared he invented the idea of sonata form, and music theorists began to write of the sonata as an ideal in music. |

| | Musical Forms - Madrigal |
| | The earliest madrigals of the 14th-century type probably date from the 1320s; the genre was fully developed in the 1340s, with two- or three-line verses (usually with identical music) and a one- or two-line terminating ritornello. | | | In musical style, its terminus was set by the translated Italian madrigals in Yonge's Musica transalpina (1588) and in particular by examples from Marenzio's early period. | | | However, the polyphonic madrigal survived as an archaic genre in occasional works by Alessandro Scarlatti and others. |

| | As with many musical genres, the term is arguably inadequate: it is used for the music of Tortoise as well as that of Mogwai, two bands who have very little in common besides the fact that their music is largely instrumental. | | | Originally used to describe the music of such bands as Stereolab, Disco Inferno, Seefeel, Bark Psychosis and Pram, it spread out to be frequently used for all sorts of jazz- and Krautrock-influenced, instrumental, electronica-added music made after 1994. | | | The genre enjoyed another revival in the 1990s with the so-called "Third Wave", spearheaded by such bands as Sweden's The Flower Kings, the UK's Porcupine Tree, and Spock's Beard from the United States. |

| | On Musicians' Speech About Music: Musico-Linguistic Discourse of Tabla Players |
| | Indubitably, this new 'gimmick' genre is the result of the rise of the tabla as a solo instrument in the late twentieth century for audiences that are not only South Asian but also lack the specialist knowledge of these musicians. | | | Examples of musical indexicality combined with musical iconicity are Yogesh Samsi's performance of a traditional genre, the rela, the structure of which points to the sound of a train but is not intended to be a literal representation. | | | This paper is a brief examination of how musicians speak about music, specifically the musico-linguistic discourse of tabla players from the Punjab region of Pakistan and India. |

| | It contrasts with mainstream contemporary Christian music (CCM) in that CCM is often viewed as a tool for ministry, with the art of the music not as important. | | | By the 1990s, many of these bands were forced to go independent because their music had been largely rejected by the mainstream Christian music industry and Christian radio, since their songs tended to be more lyrically complex, and often more controversial, than the typical CCM song. | | | In the 1990s and 2000s, Christian alternative music was dominated by artists like Jars of Clay, Newsboys, Audio Adrenaline, MxPx and Zao. |

| | It has become perhaps the most integral part of the Breton roots revival, and was the first genre of Breton music to gain some mainstream success, both in Brittany and abroad. | | | Undoubtedly the most famous name in modern Breton music is Alan Stivell, who popularized the Celtic harp with a series of albums in the early 1970s, including most famously Renaissance de la Harpe Celtique ( 1971) and Chemins de Terre ( 1973). | | | Stivell's most important contribution to the Breton music scene, however, has probably been his importation of rock and other American styles, as well as the formation of the idea of a Breton traditional band. |
