1. Introduction: Music has changed over time; going from the Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, to Romantic eras. Much of it is the result of different things happening in the world, which affect the musician's decisions to have certain compositions. The Renaissance era was mainly secular music-- music for the church, both instrumentally and vocally. The Baroque era changed in the way that from the Renaissance era, it gained lots of details in the music. Many different layers, but not so overwhelming. The Classical Era seemed to have the goal of creating simple, elegant, and witty music. Some composers, like Mozart, were hired to play at certain events, as background music-- which kept their music limited and did not allow room for exploration. Then, the Romantic era arrived and music became to be more experimented. The music became more colorful, and more soulful. Through the more Modern era, the single most important moment in defining the course of music throughout the century was the widespread break with traditional tonality, effected in diverse ways by different composers in the first decade of the century.
