What is light music? Such as """"""""

LIGHT MUSIC refers to a popular music form between classical music and pop music. Light music interprets music in a popular way, and its source can be original or adapted from classical music, pop music or folk songs. Light music is generally played by small bands, with simple structure, bright rhythm and beautiful melody. Light music can create a warm and romantic atmosphere with a casual nature, so it is also called "Mood Music". Light music originated in Britain after World War I, reached its peak in the mid-to-late 20th century, and was gradually replaced by New Age music at the end of the 20th century, but it still has a certain influence today. As we all know, classical music has a heavy texture, huge structure and scale, dignified musical thoughts, and profound ideological connotations. The most important feature is solemnity and dignity. Light music, on the contrary, has a light texture, small and simple structure, bright and stretching rhythm, and beautiful melody. It has no profound ideological connotation, nor does it want to have such connotation. It just wants to bring people relaxed and beautiful enjoyment. Its main feature is lightness and liveliness. Therefore, it is very appropriate to name this music as light music. But light music is not the same as pop music with pop songs as its core. It is not as gentle and elegant as classical music, which has distinctive characteristics of the times and critical awareness of society, nor is it as kitschy and sensational as pop music. Instead, it has high aesthetic taste and relatively little commercial flavor. While popular pop songs go out of fashion quickly, beautiful light music numbers remain timeless. In general, light music is between classical music and pop music. It is a compromise between the two stark oppositions. It can be said to be the "third force" in music. It has both classical and modern flavors, is gorgeous but not gaudy, romantic but not frivolous, lyrical but not lingering, easy to understand and approachable, elegant in style and extraordinary in style. Classical music fans don't find it vulgar, and pop music lovers can also accept it. It can be said to be both elegant and vulgar. This characteristic of light music made it widely popular as soon as it appeared. The Mantovani Band established in the late 1930s is a symbol of the birth of light music. With its extremely soft, melodious and intoxicating performance, the band quickly established its own unique image and temperament in light music, establishing its own position in the popular music world. The 1960s and 1970s were the heyday of light music. A large number of light music bands with their own characteristics were established, such as the James Last Band, Paul Morier Band, Henry Mancini Band, Percy... Fess Band, Stanley Black Band, Bert Kempfert Band, Werner Müller Band, Alfred Hauser Band, Frank Purcell Band, etc. These bands continue to hold light music concerts all over Europe and the United States, and record a large number of exquisite records, which are sold all over the world. This kind of small and exquisite music makes classical music fans feel refreshed and unique, just like changing into casual and natural casual clothes after wearing a formal suit for a long time. For pop music lovers, after experiencing the impact of hoarse shouts, light music is like a cool and refreshing drink.
