| | Music genre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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. | | | 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. |

| | Genre |
| | This page attempts to describe (rather than prescribe) the concept of genre as categories of artistic creations: literary, musical, cinematic and so forth. | | | In arts such as music, painting, and sculpture genre is almost mostly determined by format and style. | | | Are genres timeless Platonic essences or ephemeral, time-bound entities? |

| | Genre Theory |
| | In film and television some genres are based on story content (the war film), others are borrowed from their literary cousins (comedy, melodrama) or from other media (the musical). | | | Ritual- Sees the genre as an exchange between industry and audience, an exchange through which a culture speaks to itself. | | | The concept of genre, when applied to film and television conceptualizes these texts strictly as products. |

| | Genre - Free Encyclopedia |
| | This page attempts to describe the concept of genre as it applies to artistic creations: literary, musical, cinematic and so forth. | | | For this reason, "genre" is such a flexible and mutable term that it has been applied to almost every possible subdivision of artistic endeavour. | | | "Genre" is originally a French word meaning "kind", "sort" or "type"; in grammatical terminology, it refers to the artificial concept of masculine or feminine grammatical gender (the noun "genre" itself belongs to the masculine gender in French, for example). |

| | A Guide to the Progressive Rock Genres |
| | The fusing together of a number of traditional and ritualistic musical elements has created a wide variety of innovative and groundbreaking folk "fusions" that can often be described as trans-genre or pan-ethnic in that the musical styles incorporated are wide and very difficult to quantify separately. | | | The word fusion commonly refers to a music fusing jazz and rock together, a style that grew out of the jazz scene in the late 60s through Miles Davis and many of his musical contemporaries of the time. | | | There are few stylistic similarities among the various artists incorporating electronics into rock music, and this term refers more to the instrumental nature of the music than a stylistic one. |

| | Arhoolie Records is the life's work and passion of its founder, Chris Strachwitz, who set out to document the best authentic down home blues singers in the 1960's and as he ventured forth musically also captured many legendary Cajun, Creole and Zydeco performers on tape. | | | The Magnolia Sisters offer a refreshing perspective on Cajun music, not only because they are one of the genre’s only all-woman band, but in their beautiful harmonies and rediscovery of little-known traditional repertoire. | | | I've always been impressed with Putumayo's world music compililations (one of my favorites is Mali to Memphis) and their take on Lousiana music, particularly the Zydeco album, is a worthy addition, and exellent introduction to the genre. |

| | Genre-form Guide (Motion Picture and Television Reading Room, Library ofCongress) |
| | For instance, a videodisc of THE SOUND OF MUSIC would have the genre-form-format heading "Musical--Feature--Videodisc." A video release of a television show would have Television as its access point for form; I LOVE LUCY transferred to video would be "Situation comedy--Television series--Video" for the genre, form, and format. | | | However, some genres have been included that are necessarily limited in the period to which they can be applied, such as Chase, Trick, and Actuality films in the early years of the cinema, because they were key genres of their time. | | | Genre headings are particularly appropriate for moving image works because they cover a specific, key element that otherwise would be lacking for scholars doing research. |

| | 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. | | | 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. | | | The premier band of the genre was Marillion, who went from lengthy club tours to the top of the charts within a few years and dropped from popular favor almost as fast. |

| | Ambient music is of a contemplative nature, and I strive to maintain that contemplative edge in my music and many of the other artists working in the Ambient genre do as well, that's the nature of the music. | | | Satie had a brilliant mind, and, while he wasn't the first to have ideas of ambient utility music, and he didn't expound much on the ideas that he did have, he was certainly one of the first to put his ideas to work in the form of his, aforementioned, "furniture music". | | | The roots of Ambient music, most believe, go back to Satie and his "furniture music" maybe even further, but effectively I think that Ambient music is really a product of the twentieth century and an after effect, or perhaps a way of combating the noise a post-industrial revolution world. |

| | Canada's Top Baroque Violinist Becomes Folk Hero As Fiddler |
| | Although the group is filled out by two established baroque musicans, Terry McKenna on guitar and David Sandall on harpsichord, the group's favourite genre is crossover music of the 18th century, a combination of intellectual music and the local Scottish folk music of the era. | | | I ask him if his fusion music is like jazz. | | | What draws me is an affinity for that heartfelt expression in music. |

| | All Saints Margaret Street - Music: A brief introduction to the musical Mass |
| | Just as religious themes were once the dominant genre in which artists would explore their craft, so too religious texts, and in particular the central parts of the Mass, once dominated musical composition. | | | The beginning of polyphony within the mass probably dates from between this time and the 11th century, and it was in the later Middle Ages and Renaissance period that the musical form of the polyphonic Mass Ordinary was created, which by the mid-15th century had become the largest contemporary musical form. | | | In the 18th century, under the influence of the style of Neapolitan composers, the Mass setting became more elaborate, often employing choruses, or instrumental support and music for solo voices. |
