What new musical concepts have modern music formed compared with traditional music?

Compared with traditional music, modern music has formed different new musical concepts such as melody, beat, harmony and mode.

1. Melody: Traditional music is based on smooth, natural and regular progress, while the melody of modern music is often not smooth, jumping violently, sometimes not reading sentences, sometimes avoiding the melody factors in traditional music and replacing the melody with other vocal methods.

2. Rhythm and beat: Rhythm is the skeleton of traditional music and is well organized; In modern music, the rhythm is free and changeable, some have polyrhythm, no rhythm, no beat, no bar line, some have the player's free arrangement of rhythm, and some have "only rhythm".

3. Harmony: Traditional music is based on harmony and triad; Modern music breaks this concept. Based on sound sense, there is no chord structure and function of traditional music. Eleven chords and thirteen chords are commonly used, and sound groups and plate sound groups are adopted. Even the concept of chord no longer exists.

4. Mode and tonality: Traditional music is centered on major and minor, while modern music is often atonal. Some create their own scales and musical order, while others do not move in the melody category, thus losing the significance of mode tonality.

The role of music:

1. People can learn about the world through music. When receiving objective sound movement, the listener will capture the sound of something in the real world in music and compete for similar sound patterns, so as to understand a phenomenon or a life scene in nature through association.

2. Through the emotions and emotions expressed in music, listeners can experience a broad philosophy of life through music, for example, affirming or denying a positive or negative life, thus enhancing their yearning for a better life and inspiring their determination to fight for it. Generally speaking, pure music pays more attention to the beauty of form and artistic conception, and expresses the ups and downs of emotions with the movement of music itself.

On the other hand, the lyrics music shows more clear content. The educational function is also more obvious, because with the help of words, the direction will be clearer, such as the "Marseillaise Internationale March" by the Volunteers.
