Term: Music and New Age

DEFINITION:
A popular style of music designed to promote serenity, peace, and spiritual healing. Most frequently it is instrumental and relatively minimalist, slow as opposed to upbeat (often having no repetitive rhythm), and featuring very “light” melodies, often improvised. It may include sounds from the natural world such as running water, birds, etc.
