 What Is It

MUSIC OF THE MEDIEVAL PERIOD (700-1400)

The Medieval period was also known as Middle Ages or “Dark

Ages” which started with the fall of the Roman Empire. During this era, the
Christian Church was greatly influenced by Europe’s culture and political
affairs.
A monophonic plainchant known as Gregorian Chant was named
after Pope Gregory I, who made this an approved music of the Catholic
Church. Pope Gregory’s action made these monophonic plainchants
popular during the period. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1e/Pope_Gregory_I_illustration.jpg

MUSIC OF THE RENAISSANCE PERIOD (1400 – 1600)

The term Renaissance came from the word renaitre which means
“rebirth”,“revival”, and “rediscovery”.

With the emergence of the bourgeois class, renaissance music became

more popular as entertainment and activity for amateurs and the
educated.
Though sacred music was still of great importance, secular music
became more popular in this period. Renaissance period was also known
as the “golden age” of a capella choral music.

MUSIC OF THE BAROQUE PERIOD (1685 – 1750)

Composers during this period were George Friedrich Handel,

Johann Sebastian Bach, Claudio Monteverdi, and Antonio Vivaldi.
During this time, the arts highlighted grandiose and elaborate
ornamentation which were clearly seen in the musical compositions
created by Baroque composers.
New instrumental techniques, changes in musical notation and the
major and minor tonality were also applied in this era. A lot of the musical
terms and concepts that evolved in this era are still used in music of today.
