Music History 102 a Guide to Western Composers and their Music from the Middle Ages to the Present CONTENTS of Music History 102: As is usual with information on the history of Western music, this site has been organized according to the eras of history: The Middle Ages After the collapse of the Roman Empire in the 5th century AD, Western Europe entered a time known as "The Dark Ages" — a period when invading hordes of Vandals, Huns, and Visigoths overran Europe. The Renaissance Generally considered to be from ca.1420 to 1600, the Renaissance (which literally means "rebirth") was a time of great cultural awakening and a flowering of the arts, letters, and sciences throughout Europe. The Baroque Age Named after the popular ornate architectural style of the time, the Baroque period (ca.1600 to 1750) saw composers beginning to rebel against the styles that were prevalent during the High Renaissance.

La musique Romantique by Secteur Image et Son on Prezi Classical music: To celebrate Black History Month, let us now praise the influence of African-American composers on European classical music and learn about "Afric-classical" music more often than one month out of 12. & The Well-Tempered Ear By Jacob Stockinger What is the best way to celebrate Black History Month, which ends on Wednesday? One way is to recall some uncovered or previously neglected black or African-American composers of art music or concert hall music. Ever hear of Joseph Boulogne, the Chevalier des Saint Georges?

hanon-online.com - Piano practice with 'The Virtuoso Pianist in 60 Exercises' by C. L. Hanon La musique de la période romantique La musique romantique est facile à reconnaître, c’est celle qui vous donne envie de pleurer En musique classique, la période romantique s’étend du début du XIX° siècle (1820) jusqu’au début du XX° siècle. Comme lors des autres périodes, la musique s’inscrit dans un cadre global, celui du romantisme en l’occurrence, dont les préoccupations principales sont l’exaltation du « moi », l’ascendant donné aux sentiments sur la raison, la passion amoureuse… Notons que c’est à partir de cette époque que la musique est vraiment considérée comme un art, au même titre que la littérature ou la peinture. C’est une musique libre, audacieuse : nouvelles sonorités qui auraient choqué auparavant, grandes innovations au niveau du rythme… La musique romantique est une musique tourmentée, tantôt noire, tantôt lumineuse, souvent bouleversante.

Violinist Hahn-Bin: A New Name, A Modern Look — And A Very Old Sound : Deceptive Cadence hide captionThe violinist now known as "Amadeus Leopold." courtesy of the artist The violinist now known as "Amadeus Leopold." Recently, the audaciously dressed violinist Hanh-Bin — whose look crosses Lady Gaga with "Ziggy Stardust"-era Bowie — announced he was changing his name to Amadeus Leopold, in tribute to the Mozarts and a famed 19th-century master fiddler, Leopold Auer. What's particularly fascinating to me is not so much the violinist's change of name — though there's been plenty of hand-wringing over that already — or his even over-the-top self-descriptions (as "the most critically acclaimed classical artist of his generation") and pronouncements, like how his new moniker is an indication of what he terms his role in the world: "to embody the renaissance of classical music itself." I'm more interested in how this newly minted modern Mozart's look is so different from his sound. Museum of Modern Art/YouTube What do you think of his style?
