    All over the world people listen to classical music. Classical music is cult to describe. It means different things to different people.

     Some famous classical composers were Bach, Vivaldi, Haydn and Mozart. In their music, they did not tell a story or show strong emotion. They wanted to make a beautiful, interesting design. They wanted to write lovely sounds.

    Then composers started to interpret ideas. They told stories about wars, armies and soldiers. They wrote about religion. Sometimes they composed music for holidays.
