What’s New & What Is It?

Music of the Medieval Period (700-1400)

The Medieval period is also known as the Middle Ages or “Dark Ages” that started
with the fall of the Roman Empire. During this time, the Christian Church influenced
Europe’s culture and political affairs.
Monophonic plainchant was named after Pope Gregory I, who made this the approved
music of the Catholic Church. Pope Gregory’s action made monophonic plainchants
popular. Although it was originally transmitted orally, scholars agreed to put it in
notation to assist dissemination of chants across Europe.

Characteristics of Gregorian Chants:

• Monophonic - refers to only one note sounding at a time

• Free Meter - a type of musical meter free from musical time and time
signature
• Modal - of or denoting music using melodies or harmonies based on modes
other than the ordinary major and minor scales
• Usually based on Latin liturgy
Latin liturgy – is a ceremony or ritual conducted in the latin language
usually associated in a catholic mass
• Use of Neume notation
Neume - (in plainsong) a note or group of notes to be sung to a single
syllable.

The music sheet notated Gregorian Chant written in Neumes:

Description: The Introit

Gaudeamus Omnes, scripted in
square notation.
Date: 14th century – 15th
century

During the latter part of the Medieval Period, secular music which was not bound by
Catholic traditions emerged. Most of these songs were performed across Europe by
groups of musicians called Troubadours.

Characteristics of Troubadour Music:

• Usually monophonic
• Sometimes with improvised accompaniment
• Tells of chivalry and country love
• Duplication of the France music
• Written in French language

 What’s New & What Is It?

Music of the Renaissance Period (1400 – 1600)

The term “Renaissance” comes from the word “renaitre” which means “rebirth”,
“revival” and “rediscovery”. The Renaissance Period is a period of “looking back” to
the Golden Age of Greece and Rome.
The invention of printing in the 1400’s paved the way for a wide distribution of
renaissance compositions. With the emergence of the bourgeois class, renaissance
music became popular as entertainment and activity for amateurs and the educated.
Lute was the prominent instrument of the Renaissance era. The influence of the
Roman Catholic Church started to decline as the new music genre arose. Though
sacred music was still of great importance, secular music became more prominent
in the Renaissance period. This era was also known as the “golden age” of a capella
choral music.
Other historical facts during this era is the discovery of the actual position of earth
in the solar system by Copernicus, the invention of compass creating a wider
navigation not only of the lands but also of the oceans, and Martin Luther’s
Protestant reformation.

social gatherings. It is the most important secular form during the
Renaissance period.

Music of the Baroque Period (1685 – 1750)

The word Baroque is derived from the Portuguese word “barroco” which means “pearl
of irregular shape”. Some of the great composers of this time were George Friedrich
Handel, Johann Sebastian Bach, Claudio, Monteverdi, and Antonio Vivaldi.
During this time, the arts highlighted grandiose and elaborate ornamentation. These
were clearly seen in the musical compositions created by Baroque composers. New
instrumental techniques and changes in musical notation were developed. Major and
minor tonality was also created in this period. A lot of the musical terms and concepts
that evolved in this era are still used today.

Characteristics of Baroque Music:

• Melodies sound elaborate and ornamental

• Melodies are not easy to sing or remember
• Primarily contrapuntal textures with some homophony
• Dynamic contrast – alternation between loud and soft
• Music genres - Operas, Oratorios, Suites, Tocatas, Concertó Grosso, Fugue

used
