DIFFERENT MUSIC GENRES


There are many different kinds of music. Above you have the name to many of them. Do you know an example of all of them? They are the different music genres.
Here's a basic chart which summarises the important ones:
(Taken from "A Sound of Sounds" Music)
- VOCAL MUSIC: music created for the human voice without any musical instrument.
- INSTRUMENTAL: music played only with instruments.
- VOCAL-INSTRUMENTAL COMBINED: human voices and musical instruments together.
- RELIGIOUS: music composed and played in religious context. 
a) LITURGICAL for religious ceremonies (mass, liturgy...)
b) NON-LITURGICAL for religious purposes, but not ceremonies (Christmas Carols)
- PROFANE: music without any religious purpose, but for entertainment. In this group there are all the different kinds of POPULAR "POP" MUSIC.
- FUNCTIONAL: music for ceremonies, shows: hymns
- CINEMATOGRAPHIC: music in films
- THEATRE: music for stage plays used in operas, zarzuelas, musicals, ballet...
- PUBLICITY: music for radio and TV ads to promote products.
