"Classical music" and "art music" are terms that have been used to refer to music of different cultural origins and traditions. Such traditions often date to a period regarded as the "golden age" of music for a particular culture.
The following tables list music styles from throughout the world and the period in history when that tradition was developed:
At least 6th century AD (as Indian and Hindustani classical music), split from Hindustani classical music c. 1860.[3][4]
The classical tradition of Afghanistan, ultimately a descendant of Hindustani classical music.[4] Developed in the 19th century by Indian musicians in Afghan courts.[4] Along with Hindustani music theory and instruments, Afghan classical music also uses local Pashtun elements, especially in its performance practices.[4]
Likely practiced since the early 9th century, the musical tradition of Al-Andalus is notable for spreading Middle Eastern and North African musical instruments to Western Europe, where they would become staple instruments of Western tradition.[10] Now practiced in North Africa in the form of the Andalusi nubah,[11] this tradition has also had considerable effect on Ottoman classical music, especially in the Sephardic romance and Maftirim repertoire.[12]
The classical tradition of Burma seems to have begun around the late Toungoo period,[13] with an expansion of Western-influenced repertoire during the colonial period.[citation needed] Organized into various forms based on tuning systems, melodic structure, rhythmic patterns and performance conventions, commonly played genres include the kyo, bwe, and thachingan.[14]
