Classical Music

In technical musical usage this means music composed during the late eighteenth

and early nineteenth centuries, characterized by the

development of the sonata by such composers as Mozart. In popular use, howeve

r, the term is used to mean any serious art music asdistinct from jazz, pop, or folk

Electronic music

Electronic music is music that employs electronic musical

instruments and electronic music technology in its production, an electronic

musician being a musician who composes and/or performs such music. In

general a distinction can be made between sound produced using

electromechanical means and that produced using electronic technology. The

first electronic devices for performing music were developed at the end of the

19th century, and shortly afterward Italian futurists explored sounds that had

previously not been considered musical. An example of electronic music is

wizard from Martin Garrix.

FlamencoIs an artform and genre of music and dance native to the

southern Spanish regions of

Andalucia, Extremadura and Murcia. It

includes cante (singing), toque (guitar

playing), baile (dance) and jaleo, which refers to the

vocalizations and rhythmic sounds of palmas (handclapping)

and pitos (finger snapping).

Heavy metal (or simply metal) is a genre of rock music that developed in the late

1960s and early 1970s, largely in the United Kingdom and the United States.With

roots in blues rock and psychedelic rock the bands that created heavy metal

developed a thick, massive sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion,

extended guitar solos, emphatic beats, and overall loudness.

Hip hop music, also called hip-hop or rap music, is a music genre consisting of

a stylized rhythmic music that commonly accompanies rapping, a rhythmic and

rhyming speech that is chanted. It developed as part of hip hop culture, a

subculture defined by four key stylistic

elements: MCing/rapping, Djing/scratching, break dancing, and graffiti

writing.Other elements includesampling (or synthesis), and beatboxing.

JAZZ

Jazz is a genre of music that originated in African American communities in

the United States in the late 19th and early 20th century. It emerged in the form

of independent traditional music and popular musical styles, all linked by the

common bonds of African American and European American musical parentage

with a performance orientation. Jazz spans a period of over a hundred years,

encompassing a range of music from ragtime to jazz-rock fusion of the 1970s

and 1980s, and has proved to be difficult to define. Jazz makes heavy use

of improvisation, polyrhythms, syncopation and the swung note, as well as

aspects of European harmony, American popular music, the brass band tradition,

and African musical elements such as blue notes and African-American styles

such as ragtime.The birth of jazz in the multicultural society of America has led

intellectuals from around the world to hail jazz as "one of America's original art

forms".

OPERA

Opera is part of the Western classical music tradition. It started in Italy at the end of

the 16th century (with Jacopo Peri's lost Dafne, produced in Florence in 1598) and

soon spread through the rest of Europe: Schütz in Germany, Lully in France,

and Purcell in England all helped to establish their national traditions in the 17th

century. In the 18th century, Italian opera continued to dominate most of Europe

(except France), attracting foreign composers such as Handel. Opera seria was the

most prestigious form of Italian opera, until Gluck reacted against its artificiality

with his "reform" operas in the 1760s. Today the most renowned figure of late 18th

century opera is Mozart, who began with opera seria but is most famous for his

Italian comic operas, especially The Marriage of Figaro (Le Nozze Di Figaro), Don

Giovanni, and Così fan tutte, as well as The Magic Flute (Die Zauberflöte), a

landmark in the German tradition.

Pop music (a term that derives from "popular") is a genre of popular

music that originated in its modern form in the Western world during the

1950s and 1960s, deriving from rock and roll. The terms "popular music"

and "pop music" are often used interchangeably, although the former

describes all music that is popular (and can include any style).

Pop music is eclectic, and often borrows elements from other styles such

as urban, dance, rock, Latin, and country; nonetheless, there are core

elements that define pop music. Identifying factors include generally short

to medium-length songs written in a basic format (often the verse-chorus

structure) as well as the common employment of repeated choruses,

melodic tunes, and hooks.

RAP

Rapping (or emceeing, MCing, spitting bars, or rhyming) is "spoken or chanted

rhyming lyrics".The components of rapping include "content", "flow"

(rhythm andrhyme), and "delivery". Rapping is distinct from spoken-word poetry in

that it is performed in time to a beat. Rapping is often associated with and a primary

ingredient of hip-hop music, but the origins of the phenomenon can be said to

predate hip-hop culture by centuries. It can also be found in alternative rock such as

that of Cake and the Red Hot Chili Peppers

REGGAETON

Reggaetón or Spanish: reguetón [is a music genre with roots in Latin and

Caribbean music. Its sound is derived from the Reggae en

Español from Panama.[This rhythm came to Puerto Rico and achieved a greater

worldwide popularity. After its mainstream exposure in 2004, it spread to North

American, European, Asian and African audiences.

Reggaeton blends musical influences

of Jamaican dancehall and Trinidadian soca with those of Latin America, such

as salsa, bomba, Latin American hip hop, and electronica. Vocals

include rapping and singing, typically in Spanish.

Rock music is a genre of popular music that originated as "rock and roll" in the United

States in the 1950s, and developed into a range of different styles in the 1960s and later,

particularly in the United Kingdom and the United States. It has its roots in 1940s' and

1950s' rock and roll, itself heavily influenced by blues, rhythm and blues and country

music
