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.

Famous quotes containing the words influence in, influence, contemporary and/or music:

    I wish to reiterate all the reasons which [my predecessor] has presented in favor of the policy of maintaining a strong navy as the best conservator of our peace with other nations and the best means of securing respect for the assertion of our rights of the defense of our interests, and the exercise of our influence in international matters.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    Just what is the civil law? What neither influence can affect, nor power break, nor money corrupt: were it to be suppressed or even merely ignored or inadequately observed, no one would feel safe about anything, whether his own possessions, the inheritance he expects from his father, or the bequests he makes to his children.
    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)

    The many faces of intimacy: the Victorians could experience it through correspondence, but not through cohabitation; contemporary men and women can experience it through fornication, but not through friendship.
    Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)

    Sound all the lofty instruments of war,
    And by that music let us all embrace,
    For, heaven to earth, some of us never shall
    A second time do such a courtesy.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
