What is an instrumental song?

Instrumental music is a musical composition or recording without lyrics, or singing, although it might include some inarticulate vocals, such as shouted backup vocals in a Big Band setting. Through semantic widening, a broader sense of the word song may refer to instrumentals. The instrumental genre was particularly popular in the early years of rock and roll when rockabilly artists such as Bill Haley and his Comets, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley popularized songs with only a guitar accompaniment. In the rock era, the differentiation between a song and an instrumental became less meaningful, particularly after the advent of synthesizers and drum machines which removed the need for much guitar playing in pop recordings.

The best instrumental songs of all time

Music has always been a way to soothe the soul and calm the mind. It can be a powerful tool to help us relax, destress, and even fall asleep. But what about when there are no lyrics? When it’s just the instruments playing? That’s when you can really appreciate the artistry and skill of the musicians. Here are some of the best instrumental songs of all time.

“In the Mood” by Glenn Miller

“In the Mood” is a pop instrumental composed by Joe Garland and first performed by his band, the Glenn Miller Orchestra. It was a major hit in both 1940 and 1987, reaching #1 on Billboard’s Pop Singles chart. The song has been covered by many artists, including Erroll Garner, Les Paul, and the Boston Pops Orchestra.

“The Entertainer” by Scott Joplin

One of the most popular and influential ragtime songs of all time, “The Entertainer” was composed by Scott Joplin in 1902. The piece became an instant hit and has since been performed countless times by a wide variety of artists. It remains one of the most beloved instrumental songs of all time.

“Rhapsody in Blue” by George Gershwin

“Rhapsody in Blue” is a 1924 composition by American composer George Gershwin for solo piano and jazz band, which combines elements of classical music with jazz-influenced effects. The composition was commissioned by the bandleader Paul Whiteman and debuted in 1924 with Gershwin playing the piano part. It was an instant success and has since become one of the most popular and frequently performed American concert pieces.

“The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” by Paul Dukas

“The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” by Paul Dukas is one of the most iconic and well-known classical pieces of all time. The piece was originally written as a symphonic poem in 1897, and was later adapted into the now-famous Walt Disney film Fantasia in 1940.

The song tells the story of an apprentice sorcerer who, left alone by his master, gets caught up in using magic to do his chores. However, things quickly get out of hand and the apprentice finds himself in over his head. The song is famous for its catchy melody and its exciting climax, which features some of the most famous orchestral writing of all time.
