Yiruma is not a classical music composer

Thu Jun 18, 2009, 5:23 AM
  • Mood: Neutral
  • Listening to: Dvorak - Der Wasserman
What is classical music? It takes time to explain but basically, "Classical music is a broad term that usually refers to mainstream music produced in, or rooted in the traditions of Western liturgical and secular music, encompassing a broad period from roughly the 9th century to present times. The central norms of this tradition became codified between 1550 and 1900, which is known as the common practice period." (taken from Wikipedia)

So, we all know Tchaikovsky, Handel, Orff, Chopin, Dvorak etc... and I'm pretty sure all of you listened at least one classical piece - i say all of you because if you watched Tom&Jerry etc, you must heard a classical piece - and by comparing a Debussy piece and a Yiruma song, it's easily recognizable that Yiruma is not a classical music composer. He composes instrumental pop.
Be aware of the difference, please and do not dare to put Yiruma in the same place or even in the same sentence with Mozart or Beethoven. I'm not a huge fan of classical music -just a listener- but I can appreciate the work done by the wonderful composers.

P.S.: Do not get me wrong, I do not hate Yiruma. In fact, I like some of his songs but I had to write this to clear the complication in most people's minds.
