 What’s New
Vocal music is a genre of music performed by one or more singers, with or
without instrumental accompaniment, in which singing provides the main focus of the
piece. Music which employs singing but does not feature it prominently is generally
considered instrumental music as is music without singing. Music without any non-
vocal instrumental accompaniment is referred to as a cappella. Vocal music typically
features sung words called lyrics, although there are notable examples of vocal music
that are performed using non-linguistic syllables, sounds, or noises, sometimes as
musical onomatopoeia. Vocal music is probably the oldest form of music, since it does
not require any instrument besides the human voice. All musical cultures have some
form of vocal music. Characteristics of Vocal Music are:
