CLASSICAL MUSIC: An Introduction & Enlightenment

By Christopher Locke

This book offers both an elementary introduction and an in-depth study of CLASSICAL MUSIC ; its conception, evolution, history, impact, and current status. It offers enough of an informal understanding for those just beginning to learn about this music genre, as well as a complex examination for those who are proficient in its offerings. People usually use the term "Classical Music" to refer to Western art music, which is different from Western folk music or popular music. As the idiom "classical music" can also be used for non-Western art music, it is sometimes set apart as Western classical music. Formality and complexity are often present in classical music, especially in the way the chords are organized and played, and when harmony is used. It has mostly been a written custom since at least the ninth century, giving rise to a complex notational system and being used with literature in philosophical, analytical, historical, and musical studies. Classical music is an important part of Western culture, and its past can be seen through the lens of specific composers or groups of composers, whose works, personalities, and beliefs have shaped its development.
