Neo Classical

Neo-Classical music sprang up in the late 20th century as a cheeky revival of the grandeur of classical forms, often mingling orchestral instruments with modern sensibilities and possibly a touch of existential dread. It sounds like someone’s taken a symphony and sprinkled it with contemporary flair, resulting in soaring melodies that might make you weep or at least force you to sit up straighter. If nothing else, it proves that even classical music can get a trendy makeover, much like your uncle wearing skinny jeans to the pub.
