Beginning in the middle ages, royalty and the church commissioned music to be written with very high standards using refined instruments and complex arrangements. Though the patronage and rules have changed, classical music is still composed for similar instruments with the same standards. This genre generally includes Chamber Music, symphonies, Opera, and solo performances which stem from a western art music tradition, from Lully to Wagner to Bernstein.
