Searching for a good classical music and Mozarts speaking ,all of this made me hungry to think more about classical musics so now without losing time ,lets explain what is classical musics. one thing for sure ,when we are talking about classical musics we are talking about a genre of musics. most known genre's of musics which you might already know are : jaz , metal ,pop,hip hop,rap,rock and roll etc.. each of these genre's have followed a history and background untill they finally step up on-to the stage of global fame and eventually become an unpartable part of the human heritage. one good example here is ,rap music: according to my research,rap music is a music genre developed in the United States by some american groups initially to increase freedom of speech. see !and now you can hear rap music everywhere. HOw interesting! same goes with classical musics. History of classical musics also,began in the mid-ages of the europe. along with the Folk music ,which was serving for the mid and low class of the society ,classical music started to flourish inside the castles to serve the kings and queens and the upper-echelone-of-the-societie's standards. at that time art was cherished by the royalty of europe and among them classical musics was worshiped.so no wonder that many master pieces of classical musics is from that era. the first composers of classical musics were poets and musicians of the castles and they payed a serious attention on the structure and the form of music . so if you want to get a better understanding ,you can compare this picture above, which is a church in the Netherland , with one of those compositions of classical musics . ** but what makes classical musics so different? today many listeners associate classical musics with "serious" or "heavy" maybe to keep it safe from the eyes of evil. if there is something that differs classical musics ,its form. but also as you have read it in this text ,classical musics was contemporary to folk music in europe , so basically , classical musics is inspired by folk music as well. so next time when you are singing a lullaby think about the many classics that have been created upon it. THANK YOU FOR READING. in my next discussions i will try to give more information about classical musics . but untill next time ,you might like to search and listen some classics : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p29JUpsOSTE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSOen0wCtTo P.s:with special thanks to @Nakitakona for encouraging me on writing this if you got more questions ,just let me know :)

I do not see the relation between an uninspired parochial Gothic church in Haarlem and a classical composition...

@Readingstone Maybe not for this building, which was made by 3 or 4 different architects, and has nothing original, it is why I called it uninspired. I visited Haarlem 2 months ago, and I prefer the Catholic Saint-Bavo cathedral to the Protestant Saint-Bavo church. Is it because of the organ that you put a photo of it ? The organ is worth the price of the entrance ticket, it looks great.

yes, that's true about the building. it was not inspired by classical musics. and if it was,i have no knowledge of the architectonic :D but actually what seems to me interesting, and i was trying to convey ,is, this monument is very famous among critics for its great expressions of the proportions and the symmetrical shapes. so as in the text ,it was mentioned ,that classical musics is a music of forms ,i guess this monument is comparable to a good composition of classical music of same era in terms of Form and Structure . So now tell me what is your idea on this?do you think it could be a good comparison?:)

yes ofcourse it can be . but it needs to follow the rule of the form. composers such as "hans zimmer" are some of the good contemporary classical artists you might be familar with his music in the movie-theme "interstellar" or the pirates of the caribbean https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvdiMj8ei7Q
Interstellar Main Theme - Extra Extented - Soundtrack by Hans Zimmer

I adore classical music and had it programmed on my radio on my car. My favorite CD was in the player ready to be played when I got in the car and go to town. It was the Fugue (I always called the other arrangement the Terracotta) I had a collection of over 100 cd's that I would play when I was working on teddy bears. I also had an additional 50 Country Western cd's along with older popular cd's. My tastes were and still are very eclectic when it comes to music. I just can't stand the kind of music where someone is screaming at you and the "music" is boom boom booming at you. I listen to music to relax and enjoy the music, I don't want to listen to wind up having to reach for the head ache medication and end up in a darkened room with a migraine from the horrible noise.

@Readingstone I love polka music too, pop music and electronic, I love music that has no words in them. I find that some words in a song can ruin the beautiful music. Are you studying music then?

There are no definitive rules about classical music form. It's just a term to oldest known piece of music.

I have often thought about getting to know some classical music but I do not know where to begin.
