Periods of Classical Music

Medieval and Renaissance

Classical Music is art music rooted

in the traditions of Western Music. Slide2

The Medieval Period

Time: Approximately 500 – 1450 A.DSlide3

The Medieval Period

Most of the music at this time was

sacred

music (church music); this music was called plainsong or chant and represented the earliest known music of the Christian church.

Plainsong is

monophonic

, which means that is consisted of a single vocal part. Around 1011 AD the Roman Catholic Church wanted to standardize the Mass and chant, the resulting music is what is called Gregorian Chant. Most composers are not known. Slide4

Troubadours and Minstrels

During the High Middle Ages (late Medieval period) the troubadour came into existence. A troubadour is a

composer

and

performer

of

poetry who made a living as an entertainer, hired by wealthy nobles. Most were not simply wandering entertainers, though some did travel extensively from one court to another. A troubadour is similar to a minstrel, but minstrels generally told stories of distant places and events and did not always create their own poetry. Most troubadours and minstrels also played instruments or sang their stories.Slide5

Instruments

Many of the instruments we use today existed in the Medieval Era, but in a different form. At that time the flute was made of wood instead of metal.

Early versions of the organ, fiddle, and trombone (called the sackbut) existed.

Other instruments used include: The Pan Flute, Recorder, Lute, Psaltery, Zither, Hurdy-gurdy and hammered dulcimer. Jaw Harp/Jew’s Harp.

Bowed psaltery is not a true

psaltry

, came into use in 1900s. Slide6

Music Notation

Music in the early part of the Medieval period was generally passed on orally. Eventually music began to be notated, though without a staff, and this is where our modern music notation originated. Slide9

The Renaissance Period

Approximately 1450-1600Slide10

Early Staff NotationSlide11

The Renaissance

The Renaissance time period was a period of intellectual rebirth, when the arts flourished, and ideas and intellectual pursuits were highly valued.

Music was still dominated by the church but with more sophisticated melodies and harmonies; different styles begin to emerge.

Polyphony

, having more than one note (having harmony) came into common usage.

The development of

printing made distribution of music possible on a wide scale, and demand for music as entertainment and as an activity for educated amateurs increased. Slide12

Renaissance Instruments

Brass: Slide trumpet,

cornetto

(like recorder but blown like brass, largest was called serpent), trumpet, sackbut (early trombone).

String: viol, lyre, Irish harp, hurdy-gurdy, harpsichord.

Percussion: jaw harp and tambourine.

Woodwind: shawm, reed pipe, bag pipe, transverse flute, recorder, panpipe. Slide13
