Music is awesome

During our music appreciation class we listened to different types of musics in different Eras. For example we listened to the Modern type music, Classical period, Romantic period, Renaissance period, and Medieval period. I really enjoyed listening to all these different types of music especially the Classical and Medieval period. Classical music has a peaceful and exciting kind of feeling , although sometimes it has a very thick texture or multiple melodies at once, I still think it shares a little bit of the same sensation in itself.
In my opinion some of the best samples of music in this era are: Symphony No.9 by Beethoven and Symphony No.35 by Mozart.
Medieval period music was good and fun to listen to. In this era instruments weren't used very much because people didn't have different types of them like todays. So they used their voices to make different sounds as an instrument in the background or made harmony with the voice of the singer. This is exactly what Louis Armstrong did in 40s and 50s when in the middle of the song everybody stopped and he grabbed the old microphone and started making sounds like "Ba bam da doraab.." or how he started the song "When you're smilling"
I think one of the best examples of Medieval period is "Sumer is Icumen In" (This is not the original version and its a bit faster) Yes this song reminds us of old men with long white beard walking down the road in a jogging way and singing this song! This was actually made after the time when in Europe the weather was so cold that farmers couldn't grow anything and people were hungry and you can tell that these people were happy that summer was coming. (Quote from Mr.Allder: Life sucked for these people for a long time so they're happy that its summer! - you're the best)
Finally we listened to an ancient Greek music called "Seikilos epitaph" (It starts at 00:20).It is the oldest example of music that survived. I was really excited to listen to it cause I wanted to hear in which ways their music in old days were different than the other times and eras. The texture is very thin in this song because we have only the string instrument and the voice of the singer. Also the string instrument has harmony with the singer whenever she starts to sing. I think it is really cool that Greek had developed a musical system in the third or fourth century.
