While Yanni has said that new age is “a spiritual definition more than a musical definition,” his music is said to be “adopted by” the New Age movement as it gained mainstream momentum. His music is also called contemporary instrumental and has been described as “an instrumental blend of fusion-jazz, world music, classical, and soft rock.” However, at least as early as 1988, Yanni was said to shun labels such as “Greek” and “new age,” emphasizing that “when someone says new age music, I think of something that you put on in the background while you’re vacuuming the house. I don’t want to relax the audience; I want to engage them in the music, get them interested.” Distinguishing his work from what others have called ambient mood music, Yanni pointed out in 1994: “New age implies a more subdued, more relaxed music than what I do. My music can be very rhythmic, very energetic, even very ethnic.”
