What Makes Instrumental Music Unique?
Instrumental music is distinguished by its exclusive use of musical instruments in a song, which is recorded or composed without lyrics or any other sort of vocal music. The genre is often used to describe popular music and not other instrumental forms, such as European classical music; sometimes this may mean that the instrumental record or instrumental album contains renditions of previous popular music releases that used vocals. Of course, there are also original instrumental musical compositions. Moreover, there are instrumental singles and records that have been classified as so which included vocals, coming in the form of whistling, vocal percussion, verbal interjections, and yodeling. Instrumental music is often viewed as producing ambient sounds, with musical qualities that are light, soothing, and comfortable.
