	European classical music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Classical music is a broad, somewhat imprecise term, referring to music produced in, or rooted in the traditions of, European art, ecclesiastical and concert music, encompassing a broad period from roughly 1000 to the present day.
		Classical music is primarily a written musical tradition, preserved in music notation, as opposed to being transmitted orally, by rote, or in recordings.
		Improvisation in classical music performance was far more common during the Baroque era than in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and recently the performance of such music by modern classical musicians has been enriched by a revival of the old improvisational practices.

	Classical music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the English language, the term "classical music" is usually a homophoric reference to European classical music and its derivative styles, and is rarely used to refer to traditional musical styles of other regions.
		This Classical music era is thus distinguished from, for example, the music of the preceding Baroque and the subsequent Romantic eras).
		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.

		The second was the ceremonial music of the monarchical courts, which rose in the late Middle Ages, and the Renaissance Italian city-states, saturated with fanfares, processions, and marches, as well as the elegant dances and songs performed to entertain the royal guests.
		The main function of church music was of course to enhance the experience of worship; it was the aural equivalent of the huge cathedrals and the olfactory stimulation of incense.
		As the Baroque represented the aural self-glorification of the aristocracy, nineteenth-century "classical music," which lives on in all its glory as the "crystallized music" of Eatock, is the self-glorification of the capitalist class.

		The history of 20th-century classical music in the U.S.A. revolves around a continuous series of attempts to formulate novel and especially American forms of musical expression, in part a struggle against the domination of European classical music and ideas, new or old.
		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.
		What is more, these symphonies, far from being mere copies of European models, proved to be a major vehicle for the expression of ideas, emotions, and concerns that reflected the American outlook of their age, especially a sense of broad landscape and a rugged, rough purpose.

	What is Early Music?
		The context is European classical music, which had its best-known pieces written in the 1700s and 1800s, and so the "early" in early music means earlier than that.
		Baroque music has its origins in the rise of the recitative style among Monteverdi and others, the beginning of opera as a form, and the consequent adoption of basso continuo.
		By the 1950s, early music was a definite phenomenon, with such performers as Safford Cape, Alfred Deller, Noah Greenberg, etc. Since then, the number of early music performers has increased steadily, as has audience interest, to the point where early music sales are more or less equal to those of non-early classical music.

		The earliest documentation of musical advances happened around the thirteenth century when Amir Khusrau was invited into the court at Delhi.
		Although a classical tradition with many prescribed rules for performance, Indian music allows a great deal of interpretation and improvisation by the individual players.
		Unlike European classical music, which primarily requires the player to interpret what is written, classical Indian music allows the players to improvise within structured guidelines using the melodies of the raga and the rhythm cycle (tal) established by the supporting drums.

	Banjers & Banjer Music
		Western classical music didn't embrace equal temperament until the 18th century and several kinds of musical instruments, notably flutes and horns, weren't brought into the fold until the 19th century.
		And though the informed musical ear of a member of a particular society is capable of unbelievable discrimination, the uninformed ear of even the most enlightened outside observer is notoriously unreliable.
		It is acknowledged that even classically trained singers do not sing in equal temperament but in their own system which more closely approximates older temperaments with more 'perfect' intervals.

	What Is Choro Music?
		This music, also called chorinho (this term refers to the individual pieces of music), came of age in the early 20th century in the cafés of Rio de Janeiro and other large cities in Brazil.
