Rock_And_Classical

Rock And Classical As I was growing up, I was not allowed to listen to anything unless it was good old-fashioned gospel music. I heard some occasional country music, but mostly gospel. As I grew older I became exposed to many other kinds of music. First it was Contemporary Christian, and then other types like pop, r&b, soul, jazz, classical, hip hop, blues, and rock and roll. Out of all the music I have heard, only two have been able to tap into my soul—rock and classical. Some of you may be wondering how a person can love both—it would be like serving two masters. I put forth that they are more alike than most people would care to admit. First of all, classical artists were the rock artists of their day. They wrote their music to evoke an emotional response from their audience. Their music was written with highs and lows. One moment you’re flying with the clouds. The next, you are dashed to the earth by a low. Beethoven was not universally liked when he was alive. Some thought of him as something of a rebel. His music went against the normal.
