What are the types of music?

In fact, music has no borders. As long as it is good and pleasing to the eye, it is good. But if you want to really classify it, there are definitely many kinds of music. I will introduce to you some that are widely used in the world. The categories of music are roughly divided into the following categories:

Classical music:

Entering the world of classical music is really not as difficult as most people imagine. The sound produced by such a giant symphony orchestra is not as serious as people who don't know classical music imagine. The clearest example is in the movie soundtrack.

Many outstanding films are backed by wonderful soundtracks performed by symphony orchestras. Although these vague background scores are not very eye-catching, they play a very important role. They can make the shocking plot more vivid. It's terrifying, and the moments of joy are so satisfying.

Movie soundtracks are mostly equipped with beautiful and easy-to-remember melodies, obvious and easy-to-recognize rhythms, and regular repeated verses. These characteristics can immediately deepen the audience’s memory of the music and make the music fully popular. The character is easy to understand and remember, and coupled with the guidance of the plot, it is of course easy for the audience to accept it.

Religious music:

Music and painting are artistic expressions. Music creators use the pitch, strength, rhythm, and timbre of notes to express emotions; painters use changes in colors, The intensity of light and shadow and the proportions of composition express emotions. Is it for self-entertainment, to entertain others, for the glory of God, or for life? Each motivation is different. How to judge the level of his artistic achievement? The standard of art is beauty, and art has its own definition. Is all music art? Is all painting art? Vulgar music and painting cannot be called art. The standards of beauty are constantly changing in the trends of each era. For example, the standards of Byzantine art are completely different from Renaissance art, and Mannerism and Baroque are different. While Da Vinci criticized Michelangelo, he was also unknowingly influenced by him. This seems to be a question with no answer, but a work that is not careful enough and unrefined must present art and beauty. It is irrelevant. This can be distinguished after basic training or just eating snacks.

If you listen to it, you will know what heavy metal music is.

Rock music :

There is no need to explain this. Young people like to listen to it, but old people don’t like to listen to it. It’s noisy. I don’t know what to sing. That’s it.

Electronic music:

Opening up the history of Western pop music, from the rise of rock music in the 1950s to the rebel revolution in the 1970s, young people of our generation often have no time to participate, even in the New Wave, Pose- To today's new generation of teenagers, Punk or Indie Rock (Alternative) are just vague images on MTV, tricks played by children on the other side of the world. Punk and DIY did not disappear in the 1990s at the end of the century. Instead, they achieved the third revolution in the history of pop music in another form (I hate to use this word, but I can’t think of a more suitable word to replace it). It is the new impact brought by electronic dance music and Rave Party. This wave of dance music combined with modern technology and drugs has been a full decade since Acid House broke out in 1988.

In this decade, the "sound of the future" created by a small group of DJs and producers in early Detroit and Chicago using simple electronic instruments in their bedrooms has gradually become the mainstream of global youth subculture, just like Rock and Punk. Dance has transformed into a form of life in the 1990s, and is not just a music career for a few people that is only fashionable in Europe and the United States. Most importantly, this is our time. Computers, the Internet, and aliens are the future we must face. If you want to understand what electronic music is all about and whether future music is consistent with your imagination, we may be able to provide you with some clues and become a key for us to face new music in the 21st century; the past of electronic dance music for us It’s too late to participate, but its future must be created by us together. When you listen to the bursts of wonderful electronic sound, it seems like a fresh frequency from outside the earth, which seems to be telling us: "Our Time Is Now!"

Jazz:

This But it’s enriching-----Jazz is not a fixed appearance, but different appearances are also called jazz. Generally speaking, because in different eras some jazz content will be added, so we can distinguish the era when the appearance began to appear. Come and get to know her.

The following is a very basic list compiled by TIMO. It briefly lists the important music styles of each era and several representative musicians for your reference. This list is definitely incomplete. Because jazz is so rich!

As for the musicians, you can also go to "Master Silhouette" to find it. In addition, Blue Note's special article on the twenty-five best records is equivalent to a small history of jazz, so you can also refer to it.

Blues music:

Let’s talk about what blues is............. ...

In the early days of the founding of the United States, many black slaves were brought from the African continent. Some of these black slaves from the African continent were deceived, and some were forcibly taken to the American continent to work as slaves. Work for the local white people, but what about these black people? Every day, menial tasks such as logging, reclamation, and railway tunnel construction were required. Moreover, when the United States was first established, the cotton fields, the economic source of the southern industry, required a large amount of manpower to develop, so

Therefore, most men were put into the cotton fields, holding hoes, sweating, basking in the sun, working hard every day, and they also had to be whipped and insulted by their masters. What's more regrettable is that these Black people who work hard every day have no status in society, let alone freedom and human rights. In addition, they have no education and unfair treatment in society. Therefore, they have a very hard life, but they can still get by, so They had no choice but to transfer these dissatisfaction and unhappy moods into singing, and hum while working in the fields. This kind of song that is hummed and sung while working is called "work song"?

The above are just a few general categories. Due to lack of space, I cannot explain it to you in detail. I will introduce it to you when I have the opportunity.............
