Today we live in such a diverse society, that we are given the opportunity and choice to pick and mix what we like and dislike, what is old and what is new, which gives us the freedom to create something with the vast influences we are use to in order to create something not entirely new but a FUSION... the culture of hybridity.
Today, the range of music on our Ipod and mp3 playlists illustrate and tell us how open minded we've become and what a diverse music listener you are.
When musicians are composing they are not plucking ideas out of thin air they are bouncing off what they have absorbed through learning their instrument or just pure enjoyment listening. The skills and techniques required are distinct from one genre or sub-genre to another.
My Blog will be discussing the various artists out there who are either successfully or unsuccessfully aiming to bring back the Classical period with a twist in order to bring back popularity to the genre and keep up with the modern moving times. I won't just be talking about artists such as Katherine Jenkins and Russell Watson, the typical singers who come to mind when discussing the genre but also reflecting those producers and writers who sample many famous composers works. Furthermore analyse the current chart music who use traditional orchestral timbres to enhance their music and sound.............
