Editor's Notes
After you listen to the 3 music what are the difference between them.
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.
TROUBADOUR – First composer-poets to appear in the southern France and northern spain and Italy TRAVELLING MUSICIAN(Troubadors came from the word “trobar” meaning to compose , to discuss or to find
TROUVERES – LYRICAL MUSICIAM their songs about love, crusades, dance songs, and spinning songs.
MINISTRELS – ENTERTAINER (ACROBAT, MUSICIAN, ETC) considered under the lowest social level
Centonization- it is about the composition of melody or pieced-based on pre-existing melodic figures and formulas.
Neumes- it is used in transcription of music pieces during medieval period.
Organum- it is consists of Gregorian chant and one or more added musical lines.
Free time is a type of
musical anti-meter free from musical time and time signature. It is used when a piece of music has no discernible beat. Instead, the rhythm is intuitive and free-flowing.
Ternary Form A three-part form (A B A) featuring a return of the initial music (“A”) after a contrasting section (“B”)
Others: Verse/Chorus Song Form Is a type of binary-strophic created by the alternation of a story-telling verse (with new words each time) contrasted with a recurring chorus (with the same words each time). Strophic form
STROPHIC whenever the same music is used over and over for several different verses (strophes) of words.
Monophonic texture: One melody with no harmony
Texture - Gregorian chants are one of the few pieces of music that are entirely monophonic. There is only one melodic line in a Gregorian chant.
Rhythm - There is no precise rhythm for a Gregorian chant. Notes may be held for a duration of “short” or “long,” but no complex rhythms are used.
Form - Some Gregorian chants tend to be in ternary (ABA) form. A cantor begins the piece with an introductory solo, called an incipit. The choir then sings the piece and at the end the cantor concludes with his solo, which was often in a reduced dynamic level and featured a narrower range of pitches.
Harmony - Gregorian chants are monophonic in texture, so have no harmony.
Sacred music was primarily in the form of the motet or the Mass, while secular music included madrigals and the rise of both instrumental music and dance music.
Lute was the prominent instrument of the renaissance era.
Polyphony is the simultaneous combinations of sounds and music.
VOCAL POLYPHONY
means if more than one independent melody is occurring at the same time.
Word painting (also known as tone painting or text painting) is the musical technique of composing music that reflects the literal meaning of a song's lyrics.
WORD PAINTING EXAMPLE – KRUHAY AND HIGHER
MELODIC LINES EXAMPLE – BITUIN WALANG NINGNING
For example, ascending scales would accompany lyrics about going up; slow, dark music would accompany lyrics about death.
