Classical Music Doesn’t Have To Be Boring
Too many of us cringe when we hear classical music mentioned. Unless you grew up with the original Bugs Bunny and pals. Classical music filled these clips, and we didn’t even know it. It was fun and we didn’t realize. The problem is that we think too often of a concert scene with music that is used to put us to sleep. But it is nothing like that. Classical music can be so dramatic and fun.
Era Differences
Most classical music pieces were composed in the mid-1700s through the early 1800s. That was pre-drum, pre-guitar, and a few technological advances that have helped to expand the possibilities of music composition. You will not hear a bass guitar or anything similar. Mostly you will hear string instruments (violins, cellos)and some wind instruments (flute, horn) along with piano, but artists like 2Cellos have made string instruments COOL! Instead of hearing them as “boring”, hear their abilities and enjoy them.
Classical music is from a different era but is inspiration for the music of today. The music we enjoy as new releases today can be traced directly back to these innovative pieces. Listen to the classical pieces and hear similar movements or chords you hear in your contemporary favorite songs.
