Is light music music without lyrics? Is it like the ancient mountains and rivers in China, the Japanese Peace Month, and Chopin's Beethoven in F minor?

Light music refers to a popular music form between classical music and popular music. Light music interprets music in a popular way, and its source can be original or adapted from classical music, pop music or folk songs. Light music is usually played by a small band, with simple structure, lively rhythm and beautiful melody. Light music can create a casual, warm and romantic artistic conception, hence the name "artistic conception music". Light music originated in Britain after World War I, reached its peak in the middle and late 20th century, and was gradually replaced by new era music at the end of 20th century, but it still has some influence today.

Light music is different from pop music with pop songs as its core. Unlike classical music, which has distinct characteristics of the times and critical awareness of society, it is gentle and gentle, and unlike popular music, it is kitsch and sensational, but it has high aesthetic taste and relatively little commercial atmosphere. Popular pop songs will soon be out of date, but beautiful light music will last forever. Generally speaking, light music is between classical music and pop music, which is a compromise of sharp opposition between the two, and can be described as the "third force" in music. It has both classical and modern flavor, gorgeous but not gaudy, romantic but not frivolous, lyrical but not lingering, easy to understand and approachable, elegant style and extraordinary demeanor. Classical music lovers don't think it is vulgar, but pop music lovers can accept it, which can be described as appealing to both refined and popular tastes.

Most of the tracks of light music are adapted. Among them, European and American pop songs account for a large proportion, and many of them are popular songs on British and American charts, such as Yesterday, The Rhythm of Rain, I Love Paris, Love is Blue, Lily Marlene, Spring Wild and so on. After these songs were adapted into light music, they played down the popular factors in the original music, highlighted the beautiful melody, and changed the artistic conception of music, making it more beautiful and pleasant. Today, many popular songs have been forgotten by people, but the arrangement of light music has remained in people's minds. European and American movies, especially Hollywood movies, musicals and stage plays, are another important source of light music adaptation. Music such as Moon River, Time Passes, Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head, Three Coins in Spring, Say You, Say Me, Love Story, Godfather, doctor zhivago, Argentina, Don't cry for me, Memories, etc. Have become classics of light music.
