Abstract
At various times in the history of human race, one of the means through which humanity expresses the deeper, if not the deepest, part of their souls and feelings is through music. Music expression goes beyond what words, pictures, sculpture and painting among others can do. That is why music in its various forms and versions due to human diversity continues to attract attention and the engagement of human reasoning, intellect, and potentials or talents. A number of general trends complement the characteristics diversity of music in different centuries, and they do not form a clear chronological sequence, instead, they are overlapping in development. Each generation of composers expresses different ideas, and within each generation several styles existed concurrently, while some important composers exploited and adopted more than one style during the course of a productive lifetime. In the various epochs in the history of music, each era seems to have developed general musical styles that constituted a sort of synthesis of what that age is believed to be the norm, or model, for the music of that time. However, this is not so for the twentieth century, because there are web of mixture of musical styles born out human discontents and experimentation of strange ideas in music. Such bewildering and mystifying variety of styles includes; avant garde, atonal music, electronic music, neo-classicism, chance music, impressionism, expressionism, computer generated music, aleatonic, and musique concrete.
