Classical music. The term classical was just tacked on because there was a revolution in architecture and visual art that took great influence from the 'classical' time period: Ancient Greece and Rome. We had absolutely no way of recreating what Ancient Greek or Roman music sounded like, and so the 'classical' part of classical music is quite a classic misnomer - classical composers took no influence from the classical period, unlike their architectural and visual art counterparts. Classical music, as distinguished from baroque music, has its own markedly different revolution, having nothing to do with ancient Greece or Rome.
