Music hasn't always been the way we know it. Let's check out what the past thought about it!
The Renaissance Era (1400's - 1600)
Known as the time of 'rebirth'. Art and culture was greatly changed and improved upon during this time, and music was no exception. Everything around which was changing had an impact on music. This included things such as the church, architecture, art and several other places of innovation. The music in this era is noted as being primarily happy, as with all the great colorful chages happeninp in the world.

The Baroque Era (1600's - 1750)
Also known as the era of "I'm better than you." The baroque period gave music a large lift in terms of music theory, tonality and notation. It was in this era where Opera became a genre of music. A lot of terms and theory made in this era are still used today. Baroque music has a tendency to be fast and/or complex, with emotion potentially taking a backseat, but still being shown through more complex playing. For some examples of baroque music, you could always check out some J.S. Bach.

The Classical Era (1750 - 1810)
The classical era is where most well known composers come from. In contrast to the baroque era, these were simpler tomes musically. Melody took the main role in the era to create nicer sounding tones which were much easier on the ears. Examples include Beethoven and Mozart.

Romantic Era (1810 - 1900)
The romantic era, as you may have guessed, was largely about emotion and how to show it trough music. Music was creative in this era, often expanding the workings and ideas of the classical era by adding in other forms or art to it such as literature. 2 famous composers to listen to from the era are Schumann and Schubert.

20th Era Modern (1900 - Current)
Modern era of composing is just what we know it as, modern. This style has a whole lot to it in regards to "isms." We have a lot of influence in this era, which isn't surprising to me, as we've been around for a while. The modern era reflects all previous eras in work and emotion. One of the most well known modern day composers would be Hans Zimmer. He is responsible for the majority of famous movie tracks such as Inception.
