34. Classical Crossover, ACJ Music Academy

How are you?

Following the last week, I am going to start my 34th lecture.

I had conducted music lectures at Art Collage JANG in Seoul, South Korea every Saturday from March 2015 to December 2017.

I am going to introduce some of the music in the lecture with a brief overview of the lecture by the lecture’s order every Saturday.

After finishing the “World Music” series, which I have introduced for 33 weeks until last week, I will start a new music genre from this week.

Today's music genre is “Classical Crossover”. 

It was the 34th lecture of "ACJ Music Academy," held on February 13, 2016. 

It was a warming-up course for entering the 'Opera' lectures, which will be introduced for 10 weeks from next week.

Crossover is applied to works or performers that appear on charts of two or more different music genres.

Classical crossover includes classical music that has become widely popular to the public, or various forms of popular music played by classical artists or performed in classical moods.

It also includes the collaborations of classical musicians and popular music players as well as the fusion music between classical music such as opera or symphony and popular music such as pop, rock or Latin music.

For example, classical crossover includes the collaboration between pop vocals and opera singers, or classical instrumentalists and rock groups.

Although it's actually an old phenomenon in the music area, the name "classical crossover" was created by record companies in the 1980s.

This genre has gained popularity since the 1990s and acquired its own billboard charts.

Classical crossover is a genre that encompasses both classical and popular music, so it's generally aimed at fans for both music types.

Today, I will introduce 3 music as follows:

1. Palladio-Escala

2. Time to Say Goodbye-Andrea Bocelli & Sarah Brightman

3. Victory-Bond

You can listen to all the music from following YouTube link.

Thank you.
