By saying "similar to classical" I assume you mean the classical era in music?

The classical era was a huge achievement when looking at earlier eras such as Medieval and Baroque. The orchestra developed as we saw new instruments being perfected, we saw the dismissal of the "Basso Continuo" as the Piano and other bass instruments became available and we also saw an increase in Musical Forms (particularly the Sonata form which changed the way music was written significantly!)

In a way it's hard to say that it's similar, especially as it's really easy to distinguish a medieval/baroque piece from that of a classical. Even the Baroque harpsichord wasn't completely perfected in the medieval era, it was mostly just other string instruments (under other names and designs), wooden flutes, organs, harps and believe it or not the Trombone (then called a sackbut).

I would be interested to know if there even is much similarity.. As far as I'm aware there isn't any noticeable.. If anyone's able to rectify me on that please feel free.

The difference is that music in the medieval times was very important because they used music in special celebrations, holidays or maybe even just in mealtimes to help them digest (they really thought that!). And in our days we use music for just entertainment. Also the styles of music is very different now from the medieval times. But some of the instruments are quiet the same.

The medieval music was mainly sung and controlled by Monks. They were more of a gloomy, monotonousness sound that centered and pretty much all of it was about religion. The baroque period had a more destining musical arrangements composed by genius composers.

What is difference class music and film music?

Do you mean the difference between classical music and film music?Classical music was composed in the period from 1550 to 1900 (more or less).Film music came into existence in the late 1800's/early 1900's.Film music often borrows elements from classical music, but from other music forms as well (for example jazz, and rock).Both music forms have also much in common. When you put on a dvd, turn off the sound from the tv, and put on a classical piece of music at the same time, the classical music can often compliment the movie you're watching!
