Songs, music, dances have existed for several centuries. Probably, as long as
humanity exists, so much music exists. Of course, music changes with each
generation, and now it is difficult to find similarities between the modern style
and the old one. Despite the enormous difference in styles of music, the essence
remains the same. Music is with us throughout our lives. We travel by public
transport, we are in a shopping supermarket, we watch TV - exactly that melody
of the musical direction is heard everywhere. For some, each composition is
associated with a certain important event, deed, choice. Therefore, over time,
music becomes a part of us. It merges with the personal spiritual world, causing
us to feel joy, sadness, pain. The song evokes feelings associated with certain
events.
The history of music covers the historical development and presence of music
from prehistoric times to the present day. Though definitions of music vary
wildly throughout the world, every known culture partakes in it, and music is
thus considered a cultural universal. Music is regarded as a cultural universal,
though definitions of it vary wildly around the world and throughout history. As
with many aspects of human cognition, it remains debated as to what extent the
origins of music will ever be understood, with scholars often taking polarizing
positions. The origin of music is often discussed alongside the origin of
language, with the nature of their connection being the subject of much debate.
There is little consensus on any particular theory for the origin of music, which
have included contributions from archaeologists, cognitive scientists,
ethnomusicologists, evolutionary biologists, linguists, neuroscientists,
paleoanthropologists, philosophers and psychologists (developmental and
social).
There is many kinds of music in the world. People in different families, regions,
states and countries able to listen many types of music. So, for example we
know, that in America most of population prefere rap, rock music and popular
music, jaz, blues, country. American music is heard around the world. Since the
beginning of the 20th century, some forms of American popular music have
gained a near global audience.[
Some popular music is the Electropop which is based on British, West German,
Japanese performers and Some is the New school hip hop influenced by Afrika
Bambaataa which in turn was influenced by Kraftwerk. There are also some
African-American influence in the music tradition of the European-American
settlers, such as jazz, blues, rock, country and bluegrass. The United States has
also seen documented folk music and recorded popular music produced in the
ethnic styles of the Ukrainian, Irish, Scottish, Polish, Hispanic, and Jewish
communities, among others.
Music of China refers to the music of the Chinese people, which may be the
music of the Han Chinese as well as other ethnic minorities within mainland
China. It also includes music produced by people of Chinese origin in some
territories outside mainland China using traditional Chinese instruments or in
the Chinese language. It covers a highly diverse range of music from the
traditional to the modern.
Different types of music have been recorded in historical Chinese documents
from the early periods of Chinese civilization which, together with
archaeological artifacts discovered, provided evidence of a well-developed
musical culture as early as the Zhou dynasty/. Musical instruments were
traditionally classified into eight categories known as bayin. Traditional music
in China is played on solo instruments or in small ensembles of plucked and
bowed stringed instruments, flutes, and various cymbals, gongs, and drums. The
scale is pentatonic. Bamboo pipes and qin are among the oldest known musical
instruments from China; instruments are traditionally divided into categories
based on their material of composition: animal skins, gourd, bamboo, wood,
silk, earth/clay, metal, and stone. Chinese orchestras traditionally consist of
bowed strings, woodwinds, plucked strings and percussion.
And the kind of world music it’s of course the Classical music. Everybody in
the world at least heard classical music at once. Classical music has its own
noble history like the rest of the music types. Every culture and tradition has its
own form of classical music that is played with the assistance of different
instruments e.g. Indians, Chinese, Arabs, and Europeans had their own
traditions for classical music. Music is classical if it includes some of the
following features: a learned tradition, support from the church or government,
or greater cultural capital. Classical music is also described as complex, lasting,
transcendent, and abstract.
The classical music, found in stores and performed regularly by
symphonies around the world, spans a length of time from 1600 up to the
present. This time frame includes the Renaissance, Baroque, Classical,
Romantic and Contemporary periods. The classical period of music actually
spans a time from of 1750 to 1800. Some people consider classical music as
Western Art Music because most of the major composers until the 20th century
were European. Vivaldi was Italian, Bach was German, Mozart and Beethoven
were Austrian; they were some of the more prominent composers.
The instrumentations used for the composition of Classical music
include both large orchestras and small ensembles. The largest part of the
orchestra was the string section consisting of violins, violas, cellos and string
basses. These instruments were invented very early in medieval times but really
matured into their present form during the late 18th century.
