Reversed from historians examing music to learn about a culture, they also can use knowledge of cultures to create music that sounds historic. For example, movie soundtracks such as How to Train Your Dragon draw from historical customs and culture to create modern, yet historically influenced pieces of music.

Baroque music will never fail to remind me of "properness". I don't have a specific piece, but it's more about the general feel of it all. I can picture the floofy dresses and suits

It often intruges me whether it would even be possible to write "decent" music today that sounds like or imitates the styles of historical periods of music in the past. As classical musicians prolong the art of resurrecting music from the past, it might pain to only be able to draw from a defined, finite array of music and not have any of it grow.

It is amazing to me that we as a people are not able to come up with "new" music. To see the coralation between music that could have been composed over a hundred years ago to a song written in present day is just astoundiing.

It blows my mind of how much music we have in the palm of our hands. I used to think of music as something fun to listen too (and I still do) but that was it. I never even realized the incredible impact that music has had on people and it's history of how long before me it has been around is amazing.

Music is important is reflecting overall public opinion during specific time periods. For instance during the Vietnam War many anti-war songs came out while after 9-11 a lot of music had patriotic themes.

It's interesting to learn about how much music has impacted people now and even hundreds and hundreds of years. Baroque music always sounds fancy to me, like I should be sitting up straight.

It's so interesting to look at a piece from the perspective of the time period. It can definetly change your view on why and how the song was written.

The differences in music show so much about the music and the people that produce it. I have always felt that R&B gives off a vibe that you are alone in a smoke filled empty room.

In my opinion, disco pieces from the 70s clearly emphasize the laid back and calm culture in addition to attitude shared by people all over during that time period.

This is often the case with music. There are many examples. How many can you find?
