Vocal music
Vocal music is
music intended for performance mainly by
singers. Other
musical instruments may be involved, but the
choir is the main focus of the piece. Examples of vocal music include choral music,
yodeling, and
Barbershop.
Vocal music is probably the oldest form of music, since it does not require any other instruments other than the human voice. All musical cultures have some form of vocal music.
