Classical Music	comment	Classical music is the term generally used these days to refer to a particular tradition of music from Western European civilizations, and is often contrasted with the equally vague term Popular music. In the current era, much of this body of music has been studied carefully in scholarly manner, and is performed and appreciated as standalone art, even if it wasn't originally conceived as such. This music has been in existence since the Medieval Era (as far back as Gregorian Chant and similar Medieval Music), the Renaissance Era (complex choral music with interweaving melody lines), the Baroque Era (Bach, Handel, and Vivaldi), the Classical Era (Mozart and Haydn), the Romantic Era (Wagner, Lizst, Chopin, Brahms), and modern era, to the present day. Music history books on the subject are all in agreement on this time frame for the genre.

Classical Music / int_1d891b9e	comment	True Art Is Ancient: Yes, you will frequently hear music that is a few centuries old, if not older. Bonus points if you find a "Historically Informed Performance" played on painstakingly restored instruments from the time period (extra bonus points if the performers are in Gorgeous Period Dress). More recently composed music tends to take a while to catch on; The Rite of Spring is still sometimes referred to as "contemporary music" although it's over 100 years old!

Classical Music / int_3d64d015	type	The Middle Ages
Classical Music / int_3d64d015	comment	The Middle Ages — c. AD 900 up until the end of the 14th century. Most of what has survived is monophonic vocal music, and much of that religious, the most notable style being Gregorian chant . But the most important compositions are the polyphonic vocal music (where multiple melodic lines are sung at once), which start showing up in writing from about AD 1000 onward; PÃ©rotin, W. de Wycombe, Philippe de Vitry, and Guillaume de Machaut are a few of the big names in this style. We also have several surviving examples of secular songs from the latter part of the period, a good amount of it also polyphonic. By modern standards, it can be pretty weird: the common-practice tonality shows up long after the Medieval period.

Classical Music / int_62bf426d	type	Romanticism
Classical Music / int_62bf426d	comment	The Romantic Era (or Romantic Period)note "Romantic" in the original sense of "fiery and passionate" (literally, "in the manner of the Romans"), not the Victorian sense of "soppy and sentimental" (c. 1810 to c. 1910) — Composers started pushing the limits of their styles and instruments. Sounds became lusher, textures denser, harmonies became more chromatic, orchestras bigger, and music more dramatic than ever before. The sustaining pedal on the piano (the one that holds notes down without having to keep your fingers on the keys) became popular. Famous composers included Fryderyk Chopin (Fantaisie-Impromptu, "Revolutionary" Ã‰tude), Franz Liszt (Dante Sonata), Johannes Brahms ("Brahms's Lullaby", Ein Deutsches Requiem), Richard Wagner ("Ride of the Valkyries" is from one of his operas. His style set the standards for epic film music through today), Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (The Nutcracker ballet) amongst others. (Beethoven's later work is often considered to be a Romantic; for instance, the Fifth Symphony.) Programme music (telling a story or depicting scenes, as opposed to abstract music) and music reminiscent of particular folk styles became popular. Some people consider Beethoven to be the first Romantic Era composer as he started or inspired many of the trends to come in this period. It's also important to note that the Romantic style never really goes away. Sergei Rachmaninoff] and Edward Elgar were essentially romantics, yet wrote most of their music in the 20th century. Andrew Lloyd Webber and John Williams are romantic to their very bones, although they aren't always considered true 'Classical Composers' due to their focus on musicals and film music, as well as simpler styles. This is not pretension, like some would say, just a fact of cataloguing.

Classical Music / int_634d7074	type	Work Info Title
Classical Music / int_634d7074	comment	Work Info Title: A tremendous number of Classical works are titled with a simple statement of the genre, the number in which it was composed, and optionally the key, such as "Symphony No. 9" or "String Quartet No. 18 in A major" or "Canon in D" or "Prelude and Fugue in G minor." Occasionally a piece will get a nickname just to differentiate it from the others (such as the "Emperor Concerto" or the "London Symphonies"), but that's the exception to the rule. In the Romantic Era and Impressionism this began to shift as composers used more imaginative titles for programmatic works, but the habit persists to the present day with even the likes of Philip Glass writing numbered string quartets and symphonies.

Classical Music / int_8409a385	type	Exactly What It Says on the Tin
Classical Music / int_8409a385	comment	The Early Twentieth Century (Exactly What It Says on the Tin) — Composers pushed the limits of musical understanding and style even more, resulting in things like atonality (music with no key at all) and neoclassicism (imitating, though with obvious differences in rhythm and tonality, earlier styles). Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel, the most famous so-called Impressionist composers, began to discard the common practice tonality of earlier periods. Serialism (a method of composition based on the continuous transformations of a series of musical elements) began to be used heavily, starting with the twelve tone system of Arnold Schoenberg and his Second Viennese School. Trends were all over the place; some composers became very interested in Folk Music and Ethnic Music (such as BÃ©la BartÃ³k), others channelled the social and political turmoil of the time into their works (Sergei Prokofiev, Dmitri Shostakovich, and Igor Stravinsky), while some combined Classical with popular styles (George Gershwin, whose origins were with jazz, had heavily classical elements in his work). That last category would eventually give rise to the show tunes of Broadway. Picking a representative example out of all this variety is impossible; the defining characteristic of early 20th century classical music is the absence of defining characteristics. But try out the ballets of Stravinsky (The Firebird, The Rite of Spring, Petrushka) for just one of several styles.

Classical Music / int_a53be897	type	The Cavalier Years
Classical Music / int_a53be897	comment	The Baroque Era (c. 1600 to c. 1760) — Still a lot of church music, but the patron model became more dominant as wealthy nobles and royalty found even more time and opportunity to indulge in fancy music for the heck of it. For a stereotypical Baroque sound, look for anything by Johann Sebastian Bach. Famous works include the Toccata and Fugue in D minor by the aforementioned Bach,note Or possibly not; many musicologists believe that he didn't compose the piece at all, or at most arranged it from the work of another composer. the Canon in D by Johann Pachelbel (which uses a much copied chord progression) and the Messiah oratorio by George Frederic Handel (which includes the famous "Hallelujah Chorus"). The concerto (a piece where a solo instrument or small group of instruments alternates passages with a larger orchestra) became a major compositional form during this period, as composers like Girolamo Frescobaldi began to focus much more of their attention to instrumental writing. This was also the period in which the common-practice tonality came into, well, common practice. Other common features in this era include terraced dynamics (the music is either loud or soft, with few crescendos or diminuendos or so forth), and a reduction in polyphonic density (so that the words and the melodic lines come through much clearer), often to the point of actual homophony (simply having a melody on top of a harmonic accompaniment). Additionally, the early Baroque was when Claudio Monteverdi, arguably the most important composer (along with Heinrich SchÃ¼tz) in the transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque, wrote what is widely considered the first great opera, L'Orfeo. A few of the many other notable Baroque composers include Johann Jakob Froberger, FranÃ§ois Couperin, Jan Dismas Zelenka, Antonio Vivaldi, Jean-Philippe Rameau, and Domenico Scarlatti. Though the harpsichord predates the Baroque, it is stereotypically associated with this era; if you hear a piece of classical music and there's a harpsichord in it, there's a good chance it's a Baroque piece, though the instrument was still in use during the early Classical period, and some modern era composers, like Elliot Carter, have also used it.

Classical Music / int_a6254a7a	type	Loudness War
Classical Music / int_a6254a7a	comment	Loudness War: Notably averted; most classical music recordings require a very broad dynamic range note any symphonic piece, for instance, can easily go from an unaccompanied solo flute passage to the entire orchestra playing full volume, so overdoing the compression would completely ruin the sound even for untrained ears. If anything, classical albums are mastered with an even quieter noise floor than other styles.

Classical Music / int_aebae11c	comment	Longer duration of pieces. Some forms, such as the symphony and concerto, last anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour; Operas and masses are longer yet. Popular music is produced primarily to reach a wide audience, thus necessitating the principle of brevity to sustain the listener's attention.note Exceptions again exist with The '70s' trend of "album-oriented rock" and the Concept Album, which began to evolve in The '60s and still exists today. Even today, some rock and pop musicians intend their albums to be listened to as complete works rather than as collections of songs.

Classical Music / int_e563bf09	comment	Insistent Terminology: There's a difference between "Classical music" as a broad genre term, and music that was composed in the Classical period (roughly 1730-1820). So if for instance you say Johann Sebastian Bach wrote Classical music, be prepared for some overzealous fan to point out that actually he wrote Baroque Music. That said, in the "Classical" section of your local record store you will indeed find everything from early medieval to modern avant-garde all lumped together.

Classical Music / int_f1e0c442	comment	Rock is Authentic, Pop is Shallow: An older variant to the rivalry between rock and pop is the that between classical music and jazz, particularly their allegations of the genres being snobby and degrading respectively. There have been crossovers for these two genres such as the works of George Gershwin, and both settled their differences once rock came to the scene. Rock music, particularly metal, and pop music have drawn inspiration from classical music from time to time.
