Osbuurn Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Being new to composing.. I have a few questions about genres of music.. and sub-genres. I know the obvious ones.. like what a piece from the "classical" genre sounds like, or the "romantic" genre, etc. But what exactly does "neo" mean ? Like "neo-romantic" for example. Also, what exactly makes a piece be placed in these sub-genres.. Also, what makes a piece "contemporary" .. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYS65 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Something more or less like this: Baroque: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQRB3befRMo Baroque-> Classical http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQpD-EXtvzg Classical http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zegl7_zMj_Q Classical -> Romantic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9CYLAuKdtU Romantic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhoYauWJh54 Neo- Romantic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcBg-tXn0fs Neo-Romantic just before everybody started doing his own style :P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URKGIa0b_jI XX Century http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlR9rDJMEiQ XX Century http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnuN_TORtC4 XX Century http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C68SkzGb6Ww XX Century http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwA8xKAIfbg XX Century http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoDhmR5eZr0 XX Century http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF-F6-VFCWM XX Century http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePBB-NO8vKg It gets more and more complex in harmony, rhythm, colors, form, development, every single aspect of music. EDIT: Oh, "Contemporary" suppose to be what composers are writing right now... but in style, not in dates, I could write a baroque piece in year 2013 and it won't be contemporary, some composers live in a period of time but write in another, older or newer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
