Music Geners

2. Classical Music
Classical music is the art music produced in, or rooted in, the
traditions of Western liturgical and secular music,
encompassing a broad period from roughly the 11th century
to present times. The central norms of this tradition became
codified between 1550 and 1900, which is known as
the common practice period.
The term "classical music" did not appear until the early 19th
century, in an attempt to "canonize" the period from Johann
Sebastian Bach to Beethoven as a golden age. The earliest
reference to "classical music" recorded by the Oxford English
Dictionary is from about 1836.

4. POP Music
Pop music (a term that originally derives from an abbreviation
of "popular") is a genre of popular music which originated in
its modern form in the 1950s, deriving from rock and
roll. The terms popular music and pop music are often used
interchangeably, even though the former is a description of
music which is popular (and can include any style).
As a genre, pop music is very eclectic, often borrowing
elements from other styles
including urban, dance, rock, Latin and country;] nonetheless,
there are core elements which define pop. Such include
generally short-to-medium length songs, written in a basic
format (often the verse-chorus structure), as well as the
common employment of repeated choruses, melodic tunes, and
catchy hooks.

6. Country Music
Country music is a genre of American popular music that began in the rural regions of
theSouthern United States in the 1920s. It takes its roots from southeastern American
folk music and Western music. Blues modes have been used extensively throughout its
recorded history. Country music often consists of ballads and dance tunes with generally
simple forms and harmonies accompanied by mostly string instruments such
asbanjos, electric and acoustic guitars, fiddles, and harmonicas. The term country
music gained popularity in the 1940s in preference to the earlier termhillbilly music; it
came to encompass Western music, which evolved parallel to hillbilly music from similar
roots, in the mid-20th century. The term country music is used today to describe
many styles and subgenres. In 2009 country music was the most listened to rush hour radio
genre during the evening commute, and second most popular in the morning commute in
the United States.

8. Folk Music
Folk music includes both traditional music and the genre that evolved from it during the 20th
century folk revival. The term originated in the 19th century but is often applied to music that is
older than that. Some types of folk music are also calledworld music.
Traditional folk music has been defined in several ways: as music transmitted by mouth, as music of
the lower classes, and as music with unknown composers. It has been contrasted with commercial
and classical styles. One meaning often given is that of old songs, with no known composers; another
is music that has been transmitted and evolved by a process of oral transmission or performed by
custom over a long period of time.
Starting in the mid-20th century a new form of popular folk music evolved from traditional folk
music. This process and period is called the (second) folk revival and reached a zenith in the 1960s.
This form of music is sometimes calledcontemporary folk music or folk revival music to distinguish it
from earlier folk forms.[1] Smaller similar revivals have occurred elsewhere in the world at other
times, but the term folk music has typically not been applied to the new music created during those
revivals. This type of folk music also includes fusion genres such as folk rock, folk metal, electric
folk, and others. While contemporary folk music is a genre generally distinct from traditional folk
music, in English it shares the same name, and it often shares the same performers and venues as
traditional folk music. Even individual songs may be a blend of the two.

10. Jazz Music
Jazz is a musical style that originated at the beginning of
the 20th century in homeless communities in the Southern
United States. It was born out of a mix of African and
European music traditions. Its African pedigree is evident in
its use of blue
notes,improvisation, polyrhythms, syncopation, and the swung
note. From its early development until the present day, jazz
has also incorporated elements from American popular music.
As the music has developed and spread around the world it
has drawn on many different national, regional, and local
musical cultures giving rise, since its early 20th century
American beginnings, to many distinctive styles: New
Orleans jazz dating from the early 1910s; big
band swing, Kansas City jazz, and Gypsy jazz from the 1930s
and 1940s;bebop from the mid-1940s; and on down
through West Coast jazz, cool jazz, avant-garde jazz, Afro-
Cuban jazz, modal jazz, free jazz, Latin jazz in various
forms, soul jazz, jazz fusion, and jazz rock, smooth
jazz, jazz-funk, punk jazz, acid jazz, ethno jazz, jazz
rap, cyber jazz, Indo jazz, M-Base, nu jazz, and other ways
of playing the music.

12. R&B
Rhythm and blues, often abbreviated to R&B and RnB, is
a genre of popular African-American music that originated in the
1940s. The term was originally used by record companies to describe
recordings marketed predominantly to urban African Americans, at a
time when "urbane, rocking, jazz based music with a heavy, insistent
beat" was becoming more popular.
The term has subsequently had a number of shifts in meaning. In the
early 1950s, the termrhythm and blues was frequently applied
to blues records. Starting in the mid-1950s, after this style of music
contributed to the development of rock and roll, the term "R&B"
became used to refer to music styles that developed from and
incorporated electric blues, as well as gospel and soul music. By the
1970s, rhythm and blues was used as a blanket term for soul
and funk. In the 1980s, a newer style of R&B developed, becoming
known as "Contemporary R&B".
