Ballet music is a classical genre composed specifically to accompany dance performances, blending orchestral richness with rhythmic precision to support narrative and movement. Originating in the courts of Renaissance Europe, it evolved into a highly expressive form, with composers like Čajkovski and Benjamin Godard crafting sweeping, dynamic scores. Typically performed by symphony orchestras, ballet music emphasizes melodic storytelling, shifting from delicate, airy passages to powerful, dramatic climaxes. Modern ensembles, such as the London Festival Orchestra, continue to interpret both classic and contemporary ballet works, ensuring the genre remains vibrant and evocative.
