> I suppose I should have been a bit more specific. The messages of classical music operate within stories that are being told, and it can convey a particular emotion with the technical skill alone. Yes words help, but take any Taylor swift instrumental song and you can rarely read the theme of the song, words are required. Not the same in classical music, or even most rock. Take their instrumental and you instantly feel the song.
I can definitely agree with that. I definitely gravitate toward classical music that better evokes emotion. There are some sub genres of classical that don't do that, or do it as well.
> When I said “that relates to everyday life”, I was specifically talking about simple songs like beer and trucks that are found in country. Classical music can tell actual stories with heroes and tragedies and it makes sense it works with opera in this regard.
True as well. Depends on the song, but averaged differences among genres definitely appear, and can change over time.
