I. CLASSICAL MUSIC. There is a tendency to use classical music with particular reference to the music of the past, up to and including the 19* century. However, the term also includes music being written now, and we may speak of modern classical music. Classical here refers to genre, not period.
II. LIGHT CLASSICAL is used of short classical works which are easy to listen to, either because the composer's aim was simply to entertain.
Ш. SERIOUS MUSIC. It is sometimes used as a synonym of classical music. Serious music is a wider concept than classical music. It includes classical music, folk music and jazz.
IV. LIGHT MUSIC. It includes light classical music, popular tunes and songs
from different sources, both traditional and new, dance music, film music and so on.
V. JAZZ. Popular music first played by Negro groups in the Southern USA in the
early 20'h,century characterized by improvisation and strong rhythms, called traditional
jazz; similar music played by large bands for dancing, a later variation much influenced
by the blues to produce an unhurried emotive style called modern jazz.
VI. POP MUSIC is modern music of an uncomplicated character, played mainly
on electric guitars and drums often with a singer.
VII. DANCE M USIC is music used for dancing including jazz and pop music.
VIII. BACKGROUND MUSIC is any music played softly as a background for
conversation, etc. Some people put on records as background music when friends come to
see them and such music is increasingly heard in public places in Britain: hotel foyers,
airports, supermarkets, etc.
IX. CHAMBER MUSIC is orchestral, written for a chamber orchestra, but the
category also includes works for smaller groups of instrumentalists or vocalists or soloist.
