A composer who combined jazz and classical music into a new sound in the 1920s was George Gershwin (1989-1937). He was american pianist and composer. He studied classical music, but later he got interested in popular music genres, and used to compose operas, film music, concerts and symphonies. Gershwin strongly influenced many musicians, and he is considered to be a first exponent of the symphonic jazz genre. His most famous works are orchestral compositions Rhapsody in blue (1924) and American in Paris (1928), as well as opera Porgy and Bess (1935).

The gregorian chant was a major cultural milestone in the middle ages. it was one of the first codified forms of music meant to be played as written, where previously it was difficult to mass-produce and disseminate any music. what's more, these chants were also some of the first examples of musical notation: the notes and bars of today's music sheets are a reflection of centuries of evolution beginning with these chants. it became official throughout the entirety of the catholic church, meaning that nearly all of europe followed this musical notation and styling.
