HOW DID CLASSICAL MUSIC BEGIN?

In the 4th Century, people sang chants on one
melody. This was usually sung for religious
purposes.

     In the 13th Century, two and three lines of music
     were used at the same time to make it more
     exciting.

          In the Medieval Period (12th-15th Centuries),
          instruments accompanied the singers and
          music was written down for the first time.

              In the Renaissance (14th-17th centuries), music
              became more complex and moved into the
              churches and the courts of the wealthy.
