Origins of Classical Music

Like most human culture, classical music derives from religious ritual. European classical music starts with the Gregorian chants, or sacred songs of Christian monks in Rome, in the 800s or so.

Classical music of the Americas is often inspired by Indigenous and African Diaspora traditions, in the same way that European classical music is inspired by European folk traditions.

Opera is a subset of classical music. Ballet is the classical dance. Classically-trained Creole musicians created jazz.

Classical music notation is Italian. Though we only focus on Latin artists and compositions, our point of view is that all classical music is Latin because of its Italian origins.

Brazil and Mexico have strong classical music traditions.
