Instrumental
An
instrumental is a
song without
lyrics or any other sort of
vocal music; all of the
music is produced by
musical instruments. Specifically, this term is used when referring to
popular music; some
musical genres make little use of the human
voice, such as
jazz,
electronic music, and large amounts of Western
classical music (although in electronic music, the voice can be sampled just like anything else).
