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, contemporary and/or music:

    What arouses the indignation of the honest satirist is not, unless the man is a prig, the fact that people in positions of power or influence behave idiotically, or even that they behave wickedly. It is that they conspire successfully to impose upon the public a picture of themselves as so very sagacious, honest and well-intentioned.
    Claud Cockburn (1904–1981)

    Every American poet feels that the whole responsibility for contemporary poetry has fallen upon his shoulders, that he is a literary aristocracy of one.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    The music in my heart I bore,
    Long after it was heard no more.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
