classical music
What is classical music, and compositions like what decent classified as
classical music? Genre of music this one was often invite misunderstanding in
the eyes of those who "lay". Usually this kind of music is considered
synonymous with the music played by the orchestra. Stereotypes are not always
true, as a purely orchestral terms is defined as the music played by a band of
musicians dominated by a stringed instrument (strings). In fact, the gamelan
orchestra also scar.
In its original sense, classical music is a musical composition born of
European culture circa 1750-1825. Usually classical music categorized by
certain periodicity, ranging from the classical period, followed by the
baroque, rococo, and romantic. In this era of big names such as Bach, Mozart,
or Haydn birth of his works in the form of the sonata, symphony, concerto solo,
string quartet, to opera. But in fact, the classical composer himself never to
classify types of compositions they composed. Classification as we know it was
done solely to make it easier, especially for academic interest.
There is also another meaning of classical music (although that is rarely
used), which is all music with high intellectual beauty of all ages, whether it
be a symphony of Mozart, Bach cantata or works of the 20th century. The term
"intellectual beauty" itself has a relative sense for everyone. In
this sense, the music of the modern era such as Kitaro, Richard Clayderman,
Yanni, or even Enya, can also be classified as classical music, depending on
which side we enjoyed it. If we enjoy more intellectual elements - in terms of
melody, harmony, or other aspects of the composition, then so be it classical
music. But if we stick to the terms of the first, then obviously this type of
music is not in the classical sense. Is available for a separate genre, the
"new age", or sometimes also classified as "art music".
If so, whether the music is often performed by the orchestra of Indonesia,
Twilite for example, are also classified as classical music? Well, the problem
here is that mistakes are already embedded kaprahan as written above was.
Twilite is often criticized by the "mainstream" classical music
lovers, because it provides more pop music wrapped in a classic package. Is it
true? In fact, Twilite is not on the path to pure classical music - although in
one or two occasions they also mempagelarkan classical music. Commonly
performed by Twilite actually symphonic music, or Pops (use 's'; refers to pop
music with a touch of symphonic-orchestra arrangements). Thus, one is precisely
the critics who do not understand the true meaning of classical music (in fact,
Twilite was never stated that they mempagelarkan classical music).
However, criticism of the orchestra, we sometimes have a point. For example, is
a "taboo" for a professional orchestra to bring some sort syntesizer
musical instruments (piano instead), or electric guitar (to replace the
acoustic guitar) in staging, where it is often practiced by the orchestra in
our country. Also there is criticism about the matter rada rada-technical, such
as the role of conductor, audience etiquette, and some other things. Not to
mention about the players-that's it. But anyway, the effort to introduce the
music more "smart" for our society needs to be appreciated. Cook
heck, we would constantly fed with model music wobble increasingly tacky it!
