Many people think that there is no purpose in classical music being used. People refer to it as boring, elevator music. However, when you are listening to some sort of classical music you are calm and more focused.
Classical music is similar to all other music because all music has instruments and instrumental parts. All pieces of music have a purpose. Classical music has a purpose to every piece, but it does not express it by using words. According to a website article, “Does Music Help You Study?, “Music with no lyrics allows students to study and concentrate without being distracted by words.” Modern day music such as hip hop, country, rap, rock/metal, and gospel use words to explain the purpose of the song.
Classical music shows emotion through the instruments. When people think that classical music is just elevator music they are wrong. A classical piece of music has a meaning behind it just as a country song would.
When you listen to different pieces of classical music you feel different emotions. Some pieces of classical music are slow and depressing. When classical musicians wrote these pieces they were most likely going through hard and depressing times. During the classical period people had more depressing times than happy. Other pieces are played fast. These pieces are probably used for races or fights from the period it was wrote.
Classical music is used in many older cartoon shows or older movies. When cartoons first became popular there was no talking in them. If the characters were running around there was fast playing classical music in them. This was the same for TV shows and movies.
