Classical music, as we use it on this site,
basically includes thousands
of years of time. This area basically
describes the history of classical music.
When we speak of classical music, we are
talking of the western influence.
We aren't talking about the ancient eastern
music of the asian continent.
Classical music can be organized in a variety
of ways. This section divides
music into six historical periods: Medieval,
Renaissance,
Baroque,
Classical,
Romantic
and the Contemporary.
Each period is briefly described.
and includes a list of important composers,
some song files
provided by our generous sponsors, an
option to buy some recordings,
and recommended recordings. Also, there
is an organized layout which we used
to organize information on this site.
We'd like to thank Classical Insites for
helping us acquire sound files and information
of these periods. Most of the
information included in this site was
from my notes after taking two years of
music theory in high school. To learn
more about any of these time periods,
please contact a music theorist specializing
in the specific time period
you would like to know about.
