 The prefix "neo-" is used to describe a 19th-, 20th-, or 21st-century composition written in the style of an earlier era, such as Classical or Romantic.Stravinsky's "Pulcinella", for example, is a neoclassical composition because it is stylistically similar to works of the Baroque era.Burgh (2006), suggests that the roots of Western classical music ultimately lie in ancient Egyptian art music via cheironomy and the ancient Egyptian orchestra, which dates to 2695 BC.
