My personal opinion: Music was used (back in the day) to express beliefs and pass down ideas of cultures. Nowadays it is used mostly for entertainment. But in between that there was a time of 'social reflection'. Take for example, The Classical Era of 1750. The music was mostly classical because they had influence from the middle ages and Europe's style back then. It was used for social gatherings because of the flow of the music. Ludwig Van Beethoven, for example, was incorporated in the Classical Era, and a transition to the Romantic Era (which has music with a lot of emotion). Later on though, music has been shaped into an entertainment for us.

Answer:
DEFINITION
From c1500 to the mid-1700s (Renaissance and Baroque eras), all music was classified by its social function as being either (1) church music, (2) theater music, or (3) chamber music--a term which included all secular music that was performed in private household--whether vocal or instrumental, solo or ensemble, or even orchestral because at that time orchestras were rather small.
As orchestras grew significantly in size starting in the later 1700s, the term chamber music took on its present definition as music written for and performed by a small instrumental ensemble with one player on each part. Since the interplay of parts is considered an essential element of chamber music, music for a solo performer with or without accompaniment is usually excluded from this definition
