Classical music generally refers to the art music of the Western world, considered to be distinct from Western folk music or popular music traditions. It is sometimes distinguished as Western classical music, as the term "classical music" also applies to non-Western art music. Classical music is often characterized by formality and complexity in its musical form and harmonic organization, particularly with the use of polyphony. Since at least the ninth century it has been primarily a written tradition, spawning a sophisticated notational system, as well as accompanying literature in analytical, critical, historiographical, musicological and philosophical practices. A foundational component of Western Culture, classical music is frequently seen from the perspective of individual or groups of composers, whose compositions, personalities and beliefs have fundamentally shaped its history.

WKGC-FM
WKGC-FM (90.7 FM) is a radio station licensed to Panama City, Florida, United States. The station is currently owned by Gulf Coast State College. WKGC-FM was the brainchild of two Gulf Coast students, Charles Wooten and Ron Johnson, who concocted the idea in 1968. Initially, they only had enough donated materials for a 100-milliwatt AM signal, which was only strong enough to beam rock music into the student center. On October 21, 1974, WKGC-FM went on the air with a power of ten watts. In the course of two years, the college's District Board of Trustees appropriated $20,000 for the station's expansion. The station only ended up using $13,000 to expand to 9,200 watts, thanks to tower space donated by local radio station WDLP. In 1976, WKGC-FM was eligible for funding by the state's Department of Education. With this funding, the current crew was able to hire full-time professional staff, which allowed more variety in programming and the creation of new educational experiences for ...
