What is the history and classification of music?

History of the development of classical music:

(1) Baroque period from 1600 to 1750

Musical style:

1. Continuity and unity Sex

2. There are few changes in intensity, forming a tight unity with the emotional rhythm.

3. The melody is complex and difficult, and the performance skills are high.

4. Mainly polyphonic music texture.

Representative figures:

1. Bach (1685~1750) [Germany] "Brandenburg Concerto" religious music "Matthew Passion" and of course the most famous "Twelve The law of averages is indispensable!

2. Handel (1685~1759) [English] The famous "Messiah", from which the Alleluia Chorus comes.

The others are nothing particularly famous.

3. Vivaldi (1678~1741) [Italian] Violin Concerto "The Four Seasons"

(2) 1750~1820 Classical Period

Musical Style :slightly.

I’m too lazy to call. I’ll call again if the poster wants.

Representative figures:

1. Haydn (1732~1809) [English] 94# "Astonishment" Symphony 100# "Army" and other oratorios "Genesis" are also famous of.

2. Mozart (1756~1791) [Austria] Operas "The Marriage of Figaro", "Don Giovanni", "The Magic Flute", "String Serenade in G Major" and my favorite "C Major" "Concerto for Flute and Harp"...too many to write.

Almost every one of his songs is a pure piece of music and an absolute classic.

I like him the most.

3. Beethoven (1770~1827) [Germany] All 9 symphonies are famous.

The only opera "Fidelio" and the 32 piano sonatas known as the Bible of keyboard music are as famous as Haydn's Twelve Equal Temperaments.

(3) 1820~1900 Romantic Period

Representative figures:

"King of Songs" Schubert, Mendelssohn, Wagner, Schumann , "Piano Poet" Chopin, "King of Piano" Liszt (the most amazing thing to me is that he is actually a disciple of Czerny!), Brahms, "King of Waltz" Johann Straw Jr. There are also those who wrote operas such as Rossini, Verdi, Puccini, Bizet... countless.

It’s an era where talents emerge in large numbers.

Don’t ask me to write down their dates of birth and death and their masterpieces, right? It will be exhausting!

(4) 1900 to present, modern times

Someone above said I missed an impression, but in fact I included the impressions in modern times.

I feel that there is no need to subdivide in modern times. Those ethnic groups, impressions, etc. are all small branches.

Of course, this is just my opinion, and it may be slightly different from the standard opinion.

About our survey

Regarding this research topic, we used Internet search (literature research method), questionnaire ( survey research method).

Our research results mainly include papers, questionnaires, audios of some popular music songs, etc.

Regarding the questionnaire, the main target of the survey is high school students, so we can only explain that this survey only represents their position and has nothing to do with our views and positions.

We just use their data to illustrate.

According to the survey data, we feel that many high school students do not know much about English pop songs, so we think it is necessary to conduct an investigation on English pop songs and their genre development and other aspects.

For example: Among the 136 people participating in English songs, how much of the music do you listen to? About 75% of the students in this question believe that English songs account for one to two percent of the music they listen to, and most of the students, 39 (129 people participated in English songs, are they helpful to your learning? This question), accounted for 30.2 % think that English songs are not helpful for learning, but 35.7% of students think that they are helpful for speaking English.

As for how to obtain English songs, 46.7% (165 people participated) of students relied on rankings or media recommendations.

The development of styles and genres of English pop music

English pop music, also known as popular music, American pop music is the main body of European English pop music, mainly based on It is developed based on the traditional music, folk music and black music of Europe and other countries.

With the gradual evolution and development, new types of forms have emerged, such as jazz, Timpan Alley songs, country music, ragtime blues, rock and roll, etc.

Pop music is relative to serious music. It is different from serious music because serious music often has deeper ideological connotations and some specialized knowledge levels, requiring listeners to use their own knowledge and cultivation to listen carefully. Understand and taste carefully.

For the audience, pop music is short, popular, and catchy to sing, and the audience does not need more expertise to understand it and can only rely on their understanding and perceptual knowledge of the music.

American pop music is more self-entertaining and commercial.

Its self-entertainment comes from African musical tradition.

The most influential music, such as jazz, blues, rock music, etc., all originated from black music.
