Medieval Music - Influence in Contemporary Music

Influence in Contemporary Music

The influence of medieval music can be seen in classical music (as example, Johannes Brahms). It influenced the classical rock since 1950 to 1970, what can be seen in music as The House of the Rising Sun and Stay Away, Joe. In Berlin, 1989, a mix of medieval music and heavy metal created the band Corvus Corax, that called the style "Mittelalter metal", or Medieval rock, described by some as combining the old and the new, followed by In Extremo, Subway to Sally, Morgenstern and others else. Léonin and Pérotin have influenced minimalist composers such as Steve Reich and La Monte Young.
