Classical Music for Events

Classical Music has a place in all of our hearts. Whether you consciously know it or not. How often er hear a composition only to discover we know it!

Because of its age and history, it seems to seep into us from childhood without our knowing.  For this reason it’s place in events is the sophistication, class and “appropriateness” to an occasion it brings.

What is Classical Music

Classical music is art music produced or rooted in the traditions of Western music. This includes both religious and secular music. While the term is used to refer to the period from 1750 to 1820 (the Classical period), the general span of classical music is generally recognised as the 11th century until now.

The major time divisions of classical music are as follows: the early music period, which includes the Medieval (500–1400) and the Renaissance (1400–1600) eras; the Common practice period, which includes the Baroque (1600–1750), Classical (1750–1820), and Romantic eras (1804–1910); and the 20th century (1901–2000) which includes the modern (1890–1930) that overlaps from the late 19th-century, the high modern (mid 20th-century), and contemporary or postmodern (1975–2015) eras.

The term “classical music” did not appear until the early 19th century, in an attempt to distinctly canonize the period from Johann Sebastian Bach to Beethoven as a golden age

Sophistication of Classical Music

Classical music has been noted for its development of highly sophisticated forms of instrumental music such as the concertosymphonysonata, and mixed vocal and instrumental styles such as Opera which, since they are written down, can attain a high level of complexity.

This complexity allows the listener to be taken on a journey, thus it remains the ultimate form of sound track for film, video or live theatre.

Piano

Piano standing alone as a classical music medium is the next most popular style. The concert pianist, or classical- jazz pianist is still much in demand for Lounge Musicbar work, restaurants, wedding ceremonies or cocktail parties.

There is still something inherently classy about a real piano and a really good pianist. Performers who  combine singing and piano playing, add a touch of elegance to an event. Jazz, Lounge and pop performers can deliver a big punch to your event. Billy Joel’s famous rendition of Piano Man sums it up!
