The document summarizes the music of the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods. In the Medieval period, Gregorian chant developed as the central tradition of Western plainchant in the Catholic church. Troubadours also rose to prominence exploring secular themes like love. In the Renaissance, polyphonic music like masses and madrigals flourished with composers like Palestrina. The Baroque period saw new instrumental techniques and genres like the concerto, fugue, and oratorio with influential composers such as Bach, Vivaldi, and Handel.
The Medieval Period, also known as the Middle Ages or Dark Ages, 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 it the approved music of the Catholic Church. Adam de la Halle was a prominent composer from this time, known for works like Le Jeu de Robin et de Marion.
The document provides information about Western music history from the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods. It discusses the characteristics of music from each period and some of the prominent composers. The Medieval period saw the development of Gregorian chant and secular Troubadour music. The Renaissance period featured the rise of polyphonic music like the mass and madrigal. The Baroque period introduced new instrumental techniques and tonality, as well as genres like the concerto and fugue. Famous composers mentioned include Giovanni Palestrina, Thomas Morley, Johann Sebastian Bach, Antonio Vivaldi, and George Frideric Handel.
The Medieval period lasted from 500AD to the rise of the Ottoman Empire, and was also known as the Dark Ages due to constant warfare. Music during this time was primarily monophonic sacred music like Gregorian chants. Secular music also began to emerge in the 12th-13th centuries in the form of songs performed by minstrels, jongleurs, and poet musicians called troubadours, trouveres, and minnesingers who sang about courtly love and historical events. Notable Medieval musicians included Hildegard of Bingen, a German nun and composer of Gregorian chants, and Adam de la Halle, a French trouvere and innovator of early secular theater.

The document provides an overview of music history from the Middle Ages through the Classical period. It discusses the main characteristics of sacred and secular music in the Middle Ages, including the development of polyphony. Important genres that emerged during the Renaissance include madrigals, masses, and motets. The Baroque period saw the growth of orchestras and opera and the development of fugues. Classical music was simpler than Baroque music, featured controlled emotions, and was written for common people as well as royalty. Symphonies had multiple movements and rondo form was commonly used.
Aaron Copland was an influential American composer known for developing a distinctly American style of classical music. He studied composition in the US and France, where he was greatly influenced by his teacher Nadia Boulanger. Throughout his career, Copland championed American composers and promoted new American music. He is renowned for compositions like Appalachian Spring, Fanfare for the Common Man, and scores for Hollywood films. Copland developed different musical styles throughout his life and made major contributions to the growth of classical music in the Americas in the 20th century.
The document discusses the history of Western music from the Medieval to Renaissance periods. It provides background on the 6 main periods of music history, with a focus on the Medieval era from 800-1300 CE and the Renaissance from 1450-1600. During the Medieval period, music was mainly composed for the church and vocal music was more important than instrumental. Gregorian chant and polyphony were popular musical forms. The Renaissance saw the beginning of musical notation and a shift to an emphasis on individualism and symbolism over realism.
- African music brought by slaves had a strong influence on the development of music styles in America. Regional differences between the North and South led to distinct musical traditions.
- Music was an important part of African culture and was integrated into everyday life, ceremonies, and social activities. Rhythmic percussion and call-and-response singing structures were common features.
- Free black communities in northern cities produced professional musicians who performed in a variety of styles for mixed-race audiences, though slavery limited full musical expression in the South to clandestine settings.
Classical era music followed the late Baroque period of music. It maintained many styles of the Baroque tradition but placed new emphasis on elegance and simplicity (as opposed to Baroque music's grandiosity and complexity) in both choral music and instrumental music. It was followed by the Romantic period.
