Let Us Walk Into The Classical Music World

The creation of classical music is based on how the different instruments will play together in harmony and also individually according to their grouping on certain parts of the composition. For this reason, themes and motifs are developed distinctly in just one piece or composition.


The contrast will be felt strongly through the performances of the different instruments, either according to their sections or as an entire orchestra. And that is why composing a classical piece usually takes a long period of time. The process of creating modern pop music is easier and faster. Listening to classical music will help create a blend that will attempt to weave the old and the new together, to form a familiar yet innovative music that could be appreciated by all generations.

A few artists today like hip hop star Kanye West, and rockers like Led Zeppelin and Muse, are slowly experimenting on this principle of using orchestras and string ensembles in their recordings. They have successfully given classical music a brand new package and a brand new sound.

Something old, something new, something different, is how modern day attempts to reinforce today’s musical technology with the detailed discipline and uniqueness of classical music. And this is how they improve their techniques, by putting a vintage sound or harmony in the midst of a modern musical piece, to create an unforgettable musical experience.
