Influence in Contemporary Music
The influence of medieval music can be seen in classical music (as example, Johannes Brahms). It influenced the classical rock since 1950 to 1970, what can be seen in music as The House of the Rising Sun and Stay Away, Joe. In Berlin, 1989, a mix of medieval music and heavy metal created the band Corvus Corax, that called the style "Mittelalter metal", or Medieval rock, described by some as combining the old and the new, followed by In Extremo, Subway to Sally, Morgenstern and others else. Léonin and Pérotin have influenced minimalist composers such as Steve Reich and La Monte Young.

Famous quotes containing the words influence, contemporary and/or music:
“If morality had naturally no influence on human passions and actions, it were in vain to take such pains to inculcate it; and nothing would be more fruitless than that multitude of rules and precepts with which all moralists abound.”
—David Hume (17111776)
“Literature that is not the breath of contemporary society, that dares not transmit the pains and fears of that society, that does not warn in time against threatening moral and social dangerssuch literature does not deserve the name of literature; it is only a façade. Such literature loses the confidence of its own people, and its published works are used as wastepaper instead of being read.”
—Alexander Solzhenitsyn (b. 1918)
“As if, as if, as if the disparate halves
Of things were waiting in a betrothal known
To none, awaiting espousal to the sound
Of right joining, a music of ideas, the burning
And breeding and bearing birth of harmony,
The final relation, the marriage of the rest.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
