Role of Harpsichord in Classical Music

Hi, I'm Scot Smith with Expert Village. Today we're going to talk about, classical music and modern instruments. Classic music, like classic rock, has a certain age to it, and that's probably why we call it classic music. Music of that period, from the 1400's till today, like today, was played because of what was going on at the time. If there was war, writer's would write songs that had a Marshall feel to it, that had strength and inspired people to go to war. It also was music that was from the church. The church would hire musicians like Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart, to write certain things that typified what the church wanted. Most of the classical music at time was written for loyalty, were written for the rich. So this is what we are going to do, we are going to show how we take those instruments, from those days, and bring it to today.
