In the mid 18th century, Europe (the heart of art and music) moved into a new "formally elegant" style called Classicism. Classicism actually originated during the Renaissance, but took on a more ordered, formal and contrasting style during the 17th century. The term "classicism" was retained, but came to mean a different style.
