Classical music better than dance music? Explanation in 3 images by Zurich Chamber Orchestra


Excellent ad campaign from the Zurich Chamber Orchestra, which explains with three pictures why classical music is better than the dance music. Unfortunately, they should have taken more modern groups than Ace of Base or David Hasselhoff, but the concept is simply awesome! ;)

    Quite a bad comparison imho. Slagging artists wouldn’t make anyone love classical music more. Is that all you could think of?

    You really are of the track, in judging contemporary Pop / Dance music on the basis of your comparisons with Classical instruments. But it’s totally right to consider chord sequences in Pop and nearly non-existing in Dance / Rap are as basic as a chord can be.

    Pop singers have typically a limited vocal range in which their vocals work best (producers key changes to fit). This may dictate for most Pop/Dance singers/bands… even though some vocalists are amazing as to a wide range.

    By the way, my mom did an arrangement of the Ace Of Base song “All That She Wants” for a Classical-style guitar duet. That was very popular at a Zürich music school. You’re a chamber orchestra… you may consider re-arranging some suitable Pop song and startle the audience performing it.
