Royal Court Music

Royal Court Music refers to the tradition of musical performances that take place within the context of a royal court, often serving ceremonial, diplomatic, or entertainment purposes. Historically, it encompasses a range of compositions, styles, and ensembles associated with nobility or monarchy, reflecting cultural values and political power. These performances often involved court musicians who maintained and developed specific repertoires, sometimes commissioned by the court itself. While rooted in formal settings, Royal Court Music can include both classical and folk influences, serving as a display of cultural identity, prestige, and the sophisticated artistry of a given era or region.
