Thank you for the video, simple and direct to the point.. I look forward to watching more educational classical music videos such as how songs are named and more in depth history (a little longer than 5 minutes 😉)
In standard chronology, there are actually six periods beginning with the Medieval petiod, the transition to the Renaissance style occuring around 1430-50. Since the novice listener wont perceive much difference between the two, i suppose you wanted to keep it simple, but i think its important that even newcomers be aware of how vast the early music repertoire is, from plainchant to Elizabethan madrigals. Then the Baroque introduces our familiar tonality & homophonic textures, running from Monteverdi thru Bach & Handel c1600-1750. The late Baroque is when the orchestral repetoire begins and the casual listener will start to recognize familiar pieces of so-called "classical" music.
As a required Fine Arts credit for my business major I took a "Listening To Music," class. I liked music but never took the time to understand the classics. It turned out to be one of my favorite classes. It was much like this video, a survey of music from Monk Chants to modern music. We hit on the more popular composers of each period and their most popular music. I am certainly not an expert on any of it, but I do enjoy it. Now that I am learning to play the piano at a very late age, I have come to appreciate these composers so much and a love and jealousy for their brilliance. These pieces don't need to be snobbish and boooooring, they can be fun, very interesting, and entertaining if you take some time to understand the context in which they were created.
Liszt and Chopin? How could they have been missed
I know! Or that towering Titan of the 20th century that was *Rachmaninov*
A shame..they were not included
I have writes Chopin Liszt now (this a pun) 😂
@@clintgolub1751 hard laughs in *Stravinsky* and *Bartok*
Tchaikovsky?
Great video for my students at Pathways School (Gurgaon) in India, to get a quick insight into the periods in 5 minutes, well done!

Just discovered your channel today. New subscriber. Keep up the great work!
Your first example for renaissance is considered the beginning of baroque by most experts.
Just discovered your channel, really enjoying your videos :)
thank you so much 🎻💖
Classical music should have their own eras tour
I really wish that we could drop the “Modern” name. Its not modern, this stuff is 100years old at this point. Can we all just agree to call it 20th century instead?
Ha, I know what you mean, but I think the term "modernism" has now stuck to the 20th century movement, the way "futurism" refers to an artform that's now over 100 years old.
it refers to modern as in the modern movement, not as a time period
@@enjoyclassicalmusic6006 I know exactly what you mean. This has been a struggle for me for many years. I'm a composer who doesn't write music that one would usually think of as "modern classical," but yet I receive the same categorization as those folks. So, this is personal lol
It does seem rather anachronistic at this point, but in a 20C context, Modernism customarily refers to a specific aesthetic stance & stylistic revolution in the European arts occuring in the years immediately prior to WW1 with Cubism in the visual arts around 1906-1908 (Picassos radical Le Damoiselles d' Avignon dates from 1907) followed in rapid succession by all the other movements of the 1910s & 20s. Literary Modernism also originates in those years with Pound and the Imagists. In music, the years from 1907-1912 were likewise critical, with Schoenbergs plunge into atonality in his 2nd string quartet, culminating in Pierrot Lunaire, and the simultaneous rhythmic & harmonic revolution in tonal language wrought by Stravinsky & Bartok in their early works, Sacre du Printemps being of course the founding charter of tonal Modernism. Early and Late Modernism in both art & music are conventionally divided by the end of WW2 in 1945. Now we are in the much-remarked-upon Post-Modern era, beginning in music with the inaptly named minimalist movement. So the label isn't simply an arbitrary chronological designation like "antique" referring to any object more than 100 years old.
HOW WAS CHOPIN AND LISZT NOT LISTED IN ROMANTIC ERA, Chopin was literally THE romantic era composer
Mendelssohn is the best romantic composer change my mind
@@gubblfisch350 That's completely your opinion which i have no rights to change
Ah yes, of course, Romantic era music is only made up of keyboard music.
@@maximereny5449 sure not, but Liszt has Choral and Orchestral works
Once you get away from Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven, who were pretty much the Kings of their musical eras, it's pretty much a crap shoot when it comes to ranking the next level of composers for each era. Tallis or Palestrina? Liszt or Chopin? Rach or Prokofiev? etc. It's like trying to select the best color of blue. lol
I liked and subscribed.
There’s no way he left Impressionism out
Impressionism is considered a transitional style between Romanticism and full-blown Modernism, which begins with Schoenberg & Stravinsky c1908-12. It was a predominantly French phenomenon, embodied foremost in Debussy (who loathed the term) and less neatly in Ravel, Satie, Koechlin, with only a handful of composers elsewhere being influenced by it, so it never became an international musical language during its brief flourishing (c1890-1915).
4:10 god damn what a three titans...
Short, sweet and informative. Thank you.
The Classical period lasted from the mid-18th century to the early 19th century.
Three of the most influential composers of this era were Franz Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Ludwig van Beethoven.
In the Classical Period composers wanted simple singable melodies that everyone could enjoy and remember. The idea of balance is also really important in Classical Period music. The phrases or musical sentences are usually equal in length and often sound like a question and answer. [Composer of the Month]
Through his symphonies and other works, Beethoven built a musical bridge from the Classical past to the Romantic future. [Eastman School of Music]

Excellent video! As the memes also lol
How dare you leave out Chopin and Rachmaninoff!!
XD Moment: you put the Orfeo from Monteverdi, which is considered the first Baroque composer and work.
👍👍👍👍👍
😊❤
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
What's the Dvorak piece at 3:13 please? :)
Yes, the modern era is much more complicated than described here. But in 5 minutes you can’t cover everything.
Thats frankly fun!
These memes though 😂
Exhausting but should be compulsory viewing for anyone after an overview.
You skipped over some pretty big names. Also the impressionist era; ravel and Debussy are a big thing to miss. Can’t mention atonality and not bring up the beginning of the atonal movement and it’s opening up into mainstream composition.
Medieval?
La moderna es la que menos me gusta
