Trance is a genre of electronic dance music that developed in the 1990s. It is characterized by a tempo of between 110 and 150 beats per minute, repeating melodic phrases, and a musical form that builds up and down throughout a track. It is a combination of many styles of electronic music such as techno, house, pop, chill-out, classical music, and film music.
Trance employs aural dynamics to a great degree: A characteristic of virtually all trance songs is the soft mid-song breakdown,
beginning with and occurring after the orchestration is broken down and
the rhythm tracks fade out rapidly, leaving the melody and/or
atmospherics to stand alone for anywhere from seconds to a few minutes.
When vocals are present in trance, they are generally sung by a female
with a soaring, operatic voice ranging from mezzo-soprano to soprano,
best described as "ethereal female leads floating amongst the synths".
