Western music encompasses anything produced in the "Western" world (not to be confused with USA's western, or "country" music): in Europe, the Americas, and some Slavic countries. Think of Western Music as being anything with Equal Temperament; that is to say, if it can be played on a standard piano, it is probably Western. Western music can be both liturgical (church music) and secular (performance or commercial music). Western music dates back to the middle ages in Medieval Europe.

Although there has been a clear separation of Western and eastern music for centuries, in recent years the line between them has begun to blur. Thanks in part to global trade [and even moreso] the internet, more Eastern music composers are making music in Western tonalities, and vice versa. Take, for example, films such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." The film's soundtrack features a full orchestra (like one might find in a European concert hall) with some additional, more traditional Chinese instrumentation.
