New Age music is peaceful music of various styles that is intended to create
relaxation and positive feelings. Some but not all new age music is associated
with New Age beliefs. New Age music is typically relaxing and inspiring, and
is often used by listeners for such activities as yoga, massage, meditation,
reading, as a method of stress management or to create a peaceful atmosphere
in their home or other environments. The harmonies in new age music are generally
modal, consonant, or include a drone bass. The melodies are often repetitive,
to create a hypnotic feeling, and sometimes recordings of nature sounds are
used as an introduction to a track or throughout the piece. Songs of up to 30
minutes duration are common. New Age music includes both electronic forms, frequently
relying on sustained pads or long sequencer-based runs, and acoustic forms,
featuring instruments such as flutes, piano, acoustic guitar and a wide variety
of non-western acoustic instruments. In many cases, high-quality digitally sampled
instruments are used instead of natural acoustic instruments. Vocal arrangements
were initially rare in New Age music but as it has evolved vocals have become
more common, especially vocals featuring Sanskrit, Tibetan or Native American-influenced
chants, or lyrics based on mythology such as Celtic legends or the realm of
Faerie.
