The good and old Music affecting Modern cultures

Classical music is the art music produced in, or rooted in, the traditions of Western liturgical and secular music, encompassing a broad period from roughly the 9th century to present times. The central norms of this tradition became codified between 1550 and 1900, which is known as the common practice period.

 European music is largely distinguished from many other non-European and popular musical forms by its system of staff notation, in use since about the 16th century. Western staff notation is used by composers to prescribe to the performer the pitch, speed, meter, individual rhythms and exact execution of a piece of music. This leaves less room for practices such as improvisation and ad libitum ornamentation, that are frequently heard in non-European art music (compare Indian classical music and Japanese traditional music) and popular music.

 Until now, Music lives in the heart of the modern and urban generations. But do classical music lives on.  The answer is "YES"!

 In fact, they still lives on in our grandparents, our parents and surprisingly us! So, what made classical oldies and old fashioned music lives on? It was the harmony and memories they bring. I noticed that most of the classicals music are ballad. Their songs are like stories that are told in a song. After hearing my dad's good old days songs(which may seems boring in the first place) had known blend into my tunes for music. I started to picked up Richard Clayderman's Piano comptemporary, Kenny G's sexophane of classicness and most of all, my dad's favourite, Sir Clift Richard. Clift Richard had a bunch of nice songs like 'The young ones". Sadly, the modern and urbanized cultured generation never appreciated some of it.

WAIT!~ Some modern generations don't realize that some of their favourite singers sung a remix of the classical. For example, Akon, had a single entitled "Mr. Lonely" was originally sung by Bobby Venton. Another great example is, Sean Kigston, who sung "No woman, No cry" was a modern remix inspired by Boney M, who also were the original singers for the same song.

See, people never realise that some classical musics were inspirations to current singers of the modern days.

This are sample clips for Anime fans that created the vocaloid version of some comptemporary musics.^^

Enjoy!~

 Next, is the famous "SUKIYAKI", was also sung in English by Kyu Sakamoto
