In my opinion, the difference between classical music and pop music is sort of like what roomie was saying, he said that pop music connects and classical music does not. However I would put it differently. I would say that pop musicians attempt attempt to connect to an emotion that the listener already feels or relates to, whereas classical music tries to bring the listener to the emotion or idea that the composer wants to express. Pop music reaches OUT and tries to easily relate to listeners, whereas classical music invites the listener IN to try and understand a concept or emotion or idea.

As soons as girls can go out without their parents to dance with guys, that changes the music and dance itself. Just think about how dance and music changed fromt he 1920s/30s to the 1970s. All that reflects in the music. No wonder it became dance oriented.

Pop is easy. I don't want to seem rude, ik all songs require a level of experinece to get good at them, but let's look at it in a logical way: all pop songs would've been famous if they were sang by a popular artist. I like Indie artists a lot because they make very great songs with even better melodies and lyrics but they're not very popular despite having more complicated songs compared to the mass produced songs that become popular due to the media that keeps reccomending them cause of the algorithm. Wap is popular because western medias made it popular. Tik tok specifically. If a famous person likes it, it'll immediately become famous. You can write a pop song with very trash lyrics and a very easy beat and people would still jam into it, but it's not that it's hard to write them that not all pop artists are popular, it's because the algorithm didn't catch them. After all take lofi. Nobody can change my mind here, lofi is VERY EASY to make and often times they don't even put any effort into making the tunes they release under that brand, but lots of people listen to it cause it's lofi. It's the brand they sell, not the music

As an emerging classical composer, I'd say it is pretty hard to become successful, if only for the fact that it takes years to write a significant piece. After that, there's no guarantee that you'll even get anyone to play it, especially more than once, and especially in the orchestral world (I'm focusing on concert bands and chamber music for this reason). Pop writers can put out a bunch of 3 minute songs a year, and spend the rest of the time doing marketing because they actually have a product to market, and there's a much bigger audience.

Because before i honestly didn't even know that Holst's planets suit existed, or Mozart's symphonies even and many more (like there's literally thousands of pieces that I still don't know). And honestly one of the joys in listening to classical music is actually discovering more incredible pieces, more repertoire.

While film scores can incorporate elements of classical music, such as orchestral compositions, they are created specifically for use in films to enhance storytelling, create atmosphere, and evoke emotions. Film music encompasses a wide range of styles and genres, including orchestral compositions, electronic music, popular music, and more. Classical music, on the other hand, refers to a specific genre of music that originated in the Western tradition and encompasses a wide range of styles and periods, including Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and contemporary classical music. While they can overlap in terms of influence they are definitely two different genres.

@@phrog8728 No, it is a specific form consisting of multiple movements (typically four) one of which is usually a sonata. Concertos and opera are also composed for an orchestra but they are not symphonies. Just because an orchestra is involved doesn't mean it's a symphony and symphonies are not what film scores do. If your definition of classical excluded music intended to facilitate the telling of a story, all opera music would not be deemed classical. But it most certainly is.

@@EF-fc4du While film scores composed for traditional orchestral instruments may share some similarities with classical music in terms of instrumentation and musical techniques, it doesn't necessarily make them classical music by definition. Film scores, even if composed for orchestral instruments, are created with the purpose of enhancing the cinematic experience and supporting the narrative of a film. They are often created in a collaborative process with the filmmakers and are designed to serve the specific needs of the visual medium. While film scores can certainly be artistically rich and masterfully composed, they exist within the context of the film and are not typically performed as standalone concert works. It's important to distinguish between the genres of classical music and film music, as they have different histories, purposes, and artistic considerations.

It's funny how pop musicians talk about connecting with an audience (that I agree with) while they think that classical music perfoming is not about connecting and is just about technique. But the connecting part is the whole point of succeeding in classical music - you have to bring something special and unique to your playing so you can evoke the deepest emotions in your audience.

I think that it's really interesting how both classical and pop both 'limit' themselves in different ways, like in classical, you limit yourself by needing to be perfect, no incorrect notes, no amps, and in pop, it's by being minimalistic, creating a clever puzzle from simple pieces.

Jonas and roomie need to listen to Habanera from Carmen as part of the weekly recommendations. Roomie because he said he didn't really like the operatic stuff and Habanera is one of the most recognizable but also tolerable operatic pieces; Jonas because he said he's never heard anything he could "just groove to".

Sometimes the conversation falls on this misunderstanding that classical music only value is to "play it technically well". Taking away the fact that classical music were made also to connect to, based on, wars, life, death writings, religión, feelings, etc, etc, just as pop if you like, but beyond words, -literally- without any lyrics to sing on a lot of the pieces from the genre, and the amount of time and talent to make some was insane, like or even more than the value they are giving to the "writing of pop songs", which as being said a few times on this video is one of the appeals of pop music... like classic music didn't have that appeal (wrong). Also I don't think that is more complicated to produce a meaningful pop song than a classical meaningful piece, if you are considering producing pop now, with all the gadgets to make it easier, to how every instrument by it self in classic music could affect the overall feeling of it. Both have the same boxes to check, but I mean, nowadays gadget does make things easier and happen, even without a real talented singer, just hanging on the producing. To me it's all about the fact that ppl be judging classical for it's technically, even with such big meaningful backgrounds in the pieces, but be ok with a pop song with equally meaningful lyrics not having great or even good live performance most of the time, because is driven by other factors as trends, fame, stereotypes, fashion.. things that has nothing to do with music in fact. I mean I like pop music, both genres have different spots to fill. But this thing of saying that classical music is boring or out of style maybe comes with the fact that in this times, the exposure to fast, catchy, trendy, easy to listen content has contributed to our brains having a hard time to conect with something far more complex and if you want, equally meaningful in expressing feeling or thoughs, like classical music just because it won't take you 5 seconds to digest.

The "problem" with classical music is that there is so much and that many pieces generally need to be listened numerous times to appreciate it and that is talking about compositions only. Then there often are hundreds of recordings of a typical piece were both recording quality vary widely and there is also huge varieties in the interpretation of the music. Both these factors can make the difference from epic to garbage. The huge amount of compositions and then different recordings of each composition makes it generally harder to get into classical music for people who know little about the world of classical music nor knows anyone into it. So there is a higher threshold for getting into classical music than with pop I think. If this wasn't the case I think more people would actually both listen to classical music and be able to find music they like in the genre. Then, if you also have a deeper understanding of the theoretical part of music there will be a whole new level of appreciating the music. Much of this is true for pop to some extent as well but pop is served to you "everywhere" so you don't have to look for it and it's (generally) easier to digest even on the first listen. Regarding pop music being "simple" I also think (and this come from one that don't listen all that much to pop music) that pop music today is, to me at least, more about the production than the music and more about show than musicality. I feel that the (over)production in pop music actually many times gets in the way of the music, because some songs can actually be quite good and some musicians are also very talented but that does not come through either because of the production. This in mainly what makes me not listen much to pop music of today. I have no problem with "simple" or repetitive songs really it's more that I like listening to the music and not the production. If I was to make an analogy it's a bit like that audiophiles use music to listen to their equipment but not really to the music. So you have to have a song to build the production around but the song/music isn't playing the lead role, hence it's simple. One could argue that pop songs doesn't even _have_ to be good, as they often are repetitive and repetition legitimizes... Also many pop songs have taken classical compositions and simplified them into pop... (I'll go take cover now :-) As interesting as the discussion is there is really no reason to argue which is "better", though. Anyone can listen so anything they want and as long as no one is trying to impose their taste in music on someone else all is good. That said it would be interesting to see similar videos involving other genres as (progressive) metal or jazz, for example, which, IMO, go more hand in hand with classical music. Of course there might no be as much disagreements there as both can be very complex and the skill needed is more on par. It would be interesting to hear what prejudices both sides have though.

I agree with a lot of what you're saying about pop music and the music production. But (and I'm taking the broadest possible definition of pop music here, which is "all music that is neither classical nor folklore") the first thing to say, with needing to hone the ear and listening numerous times to understand it, that's true for a lot of pop music genres as well. It's just easier to "grow accustomed to it" because a) it's everywhere, b) the pieces tend to be shorter, c) there is more awareness of the differences in genre. If I dislike Justin Bieber, I know it's not going to mean that I can't enjoy Queen or the Beatles or Billy Joel or Green Day. There's a lot of awareness that I might enjoy some genres more than others. I feel like with classical music, most people hear one or two pieces, find they're not immediately for them, and then just sort of go "okay, that means I dislike classical music". Or even with opera, because Roomie said he struggles with that type of singing. That's really mostly down to exposure, if he listened to an opera aria every day, chances are he'd feel differently about it in a month, the style wouldn't feel so alienating anymore.

I feel music is music and is all beautiful. You can love hearing “None but the lonely heart” of Tchaikovsky or “Bohemian Rhapsody “ of Queen…Identify with a song from Imagine Dragons like “Believer” or a musical song like “This is the moment” from Jekyll and Hyde. I love hearing you play the violin and also hearing Peter Hollens sing covers … I think no music is better but is in the “ear” of the beholder lol… depends on your mood.

I saw this comment else where that makes more sense imo. Pop tries to connect in a way where people are already feeling a certain emotion. While Classical music is trying to convey an emotion to the listener instead. Example, if "Say Something - A Great Big World", comes on, majority of people automatically know it's a sad somber song because how immediate everything is in the song. But if Tchaikovsky’s 6th symphony finale comes on, majority of people wont know how sad it actually is. While technically you don't need to "learn" about classical music to enjoy it or understand it, the more you understand classical, the easier it is to enjoy or understand a classical piece. Pop doesn't require you to need to understand or know more about anything to know it's about a certain emotion instantly.

It was so obvious that he really does not want to say something nasty about pop music lol.

23:40 that was probs my favorite statement. I avidly listen to both genres so i am not being biased. but yeah its impressive how pop producers can use so little natural sound and arrange it into something catchy and relatable each time (btw I am not considering rap/rock and roll as pop music here). Likewise, its also impressive how classical music can use so many instruments and make them all sound like they're working towards a certain goal and cause the audience to be overwhelmed in the best way possible.

I think the "accusation" of repetitiveness in pop music shouldn't be looked at in the way you did here. As Roomie said, there's the line between catchiness and effectiveness that has to be trod carefully, so I think the repetition isn't so much *within* songs, but *between* songs. There may be some variation musically, but not much because pop music in general has to walk that line in order to be successful, so a lot of songs do feel the same as all the others. In addition, there's the issue of "manufactured pop": songs that follow a formula that has proven popular in the past and can easily be targeted to a specific fan base or demographic. Most pop songs also have very similar lyrical themes, and many song lyrics are written by literally two people who sell those lyrics to artists to be recorded with the artists' melodies. Both of these things can just increase the feeling of repetition and the sense - fair or not, justified or not - of all of it being "manufactured" because even for very talented lyricists, there are only so many different ways to say the same things on the same subject.

I'm gonna go listen to Led Zep's The Lemon Song now.

Brett "saying it's pleasant and tolerable" is MORE OR LESS THE SAME as Roomie saying "I put it in the background".

I’m convinced every genre contains at least one “gateway song” that can attract a new listener. I look for those works when trying to grow as a musician.

@@lalaball_, to those completely unfamiliar with symphonic music, I always recommend “Mars” from “The Planets” by Holst as an introduction. As Brett and Eddy showed in an earlier video, it was among the works used by George Lucas to inspire John Williams in the scoring of Star Wars. For those who think violins are only for classical music, I’ll suggest “You’ll Be In My Heart” from Tarzan. I was one of the members of the string section who played on the Oscar-winning song by Phil Collins. When I was in high school, my first introduction to avant-garde music was “Black Angels” by George Crumb. Check it out. It’s for electric string quartet and will blow your mind!

@@garykuovideos I wouldn’t call Black Angels a gateway piece - surely something like Verklarte Nacht is more accessible, or even Canticles In Memoriam Benjamin Britten, Skempton’s Lento, or In C if we’re thinking of getting folks into 20th century classical? Black Angels is just… so much. Yeah it’s mind blowing, but can just as easily be either terrifying or baffling if you haven’t been prepared for it. It’s not a piece of music that makes much of an attempt to guide a listener in afaict

@@TAP7a, your thoughtful suggestions are worth exploring for sure, but Black Angels was the piece that did it for ME. Its performance by the Concord String Quartet had just the right amount of craziness and brilliance that opened my ears, pried off the lid of my imagination, and inspired me to make my own electric violin. After that, there was no going back!

“pop music is repetitive” - in my opinion, both pop and classical, diverse types of pieces have been produced, not only nowadays but since forever. it’s just that those ‘repetitive’ music gets the spotlight, because it meets the consumers’ needs. it sounds familiar, it follows the popular style, hence majority of people listening to it, making it to the ‘charts’.

@@chrisb.7787 Could we unpack this a little? Because I'm truly confused about what is "pop". There are certain groups/soloists that are called that, I know. (Though as a primarily classical musician, I don't know much. Never ever play the local radio stations, so I have no idea what my fellow citizens are hearing. Hmm. I should probably adjust.) But yeah, Joel opened the door to this when he pointed out that a lot of what is currently considered "classical" was at one time "popular." I'd probably throw Mozart's many serenades into that group. Written by a master, but not necessarily intended to stand the test of time. So what is "pop"? Does it include the Big Bands of the 40's? How about the "crooners" (extremely popular in their time), and what about Elvis, Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, etc? Looking for some education here as to what exactly is pop, or if, like the term "classical," there is more than one possible definition.

Gotta be honest, when they started talking about dojo cat and drake, I realized just how little pop I actually listen to. I only ever listen to classical, jazz, and theatrical; because that's the kind of music I play (I sing classical opera, and musical theatre as a soloist. I play Trombone for my school jazz band, and for it's concert band as well. I also play clarinet for concert band, and as a soloist. I also play alto sax for my jazz band). The only pop I ever listen to is either from anime intros and outros, as well as pre 2000's pop like ABBA, The Beetles, and Queen.

Honestly, the point about “you can learn to like things” is so true. I’d argue that almost everything we “like” is something we learned to like. If you consumed it since you were young, and you associate it passion, happiness or excitement, then you “learned to like” it. The thing is… we can get so caught up in the things we like and as we grow up, it becomes hard to like other things (especially if they are very different from what we are used to). I think you “mature” when you are finally able to accept new things and put effort into seeing the positive aspects of things you dislike. A Ling Ling child prodigy classical snob that learns to like pop and hip-hop is musically maturing… just as a pop blasting BTS fan girl learning to like jazz and classical is musically maturing.

Now, classical musicians with jazz musicians, then classical musicians with metal musicians! Can’t wait for them to talk with Adam Neely and Jared Dines

When composers write music telling a story and capturing the essence of world events or personal events wouldn't that be connecting?

24:13 I think jazz is actually in a pretty great place these days in that most jazz musicians live in both the more pop inspired AND traditional worlds. A lot of the most well known modern jazz musicians (thundercat, flying lotus) are well known because of their work on popular music. A lot of them have studio albums that are heavily pop-influenced and accessible to pop fans but then the expectation when you go and see these guys live is that they'll play incredibly technical improvised jazz music based off these songs. They can kind of live in both the sort of classical world where the expectation for technical skill and complexity is very high as well as the pop music world where a lot of that is stripped down into more song formats. And these musicians have definitely played a part in making 'popular music' that is, imo, just as complex, thoughtful and incredibly as any of the great classical pieces throughout history. Look at To Pimp a Butterfly.

9:38 i think pop has the ability just as classical does to deeply touch and grab a person right where there at. if a piece moves me to tears, then it's worth my time.i recently purchased a violin, my first, which is in my left hand along with the bow while i type with my right. this is actually the only money i've spent on music in a long time, but at least now i get to PRACTICE and make my song of praise. i've wanted a violin my whole life, but couldn't really get it together to buy one, plus i lacked confidence. things are different now, thank the Maker.
