Artists from Poland, including famous musicians such as Frédéric Chopin, Artur Rubinstein, Ignacy Jan Paderewski, Krzysztof Penderecki, Henryk Wieniawski, Karol Szymanowski, and traditional, regionalised folk composers create a lively and diverse music scene, which even recognises its own music genres, such as sung poetry and disco polo.
 
The origins of Polish music can be traced to the 13th century; manuscripts have been found in Stary Sącz containing polyphonic compositions related to the Parisian Notre Dame School. Other early compositions, such as the melody of ''Bogurodzica'' and ''God Is Born'' (a coronation polonaise tune for Polish kings by an unknown composer), may also date back to this period, however, the first known notable composer, Nicholas of Radom, lived in the 15th century. Diomedes Cato, a native-born Italian who lived in Kraków, became a renowned lutenist at the court of Sigismund III; he not only imported some of the musical styles from southern Europe but blended them with native folk music.
 
In the 17th and 18th centuries, Polish baroque composers wrote liturgical music and secular compositions such as concertos and sonatas for voices or instruments. At the end of the 18th century, Polish classical music evolved into national forms like the polonaise. Wojciech Bogusławski is accredited with composing the first Polish national opera, titled ''Krakowiacy i Górale'', which premiered in 1794.
 
However, Poland today has a completely different music taste when compared to Polish music from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. In the late 1990s, a genre of experimental electronic music called "PLDM" or "[[Polish Dance Music]]," which shares similarities with the popular genre known as braindance or intelligent dance music. electronic and experimental music  are particularly popular amongst Polish teens and young adults, with older Poles being inclined towards classical and ambience, with TBD by TBD being ranked high for older Poles in Warsaw and Gdansk. Popular Artists such as [[Okno Wielokąta]] and [[Fale Sinusoidalne]] usually hold concerts in Warsaw and Krakow, or large-scale [[PLDM culture in Poland|PLDM]] festivals that usually take place in fields near Warsaw and Krakow, such as the [[Polish Festival of Dance and Electronics]], and [[Sinusoidaine Festival]]. (Literally; Sine Festival, as a reference of Sine Waves)
