It describes the defining musical styles of each period including characteristics like texture, melody, harmony, form, and prominent composers. Key periods mentioned include the Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, and Romantic eras.
The Renaissance period lasted from 1400-1600 AD and began in Italy as a cultural movement that spread across Europe. It marked a shift from exclusively religious orientations to more secular societies that believed in reason and science. Sacred vocal music like masses and motets remained important, but new secular forms like the madrigal also emerged. The most significant development was the rise of instrumental music, written both to accompany vocals and as independent art forms. Important Renaissance composers included Josquin des Prez, Giovanni Palestrina, Orlando de Lassus, and William Byrd.

The Venetian School, centered around St. Mark's Cathedral, was influential in developing instrumental music and early forms of polychoral styles between choirs and instruments that presaged the Baroque era.
During the Middle Ages, music was monophonic with a single melodic line like Gregorian chants. Later, polyphonic texture with multiple melodic lines was introduced. In the Renaissance, harmony became more developed. The church modes provided scales for medieval music composition but were replaced later. Troubadours, trouvères, and minstrels composed and sang love songs and stories during this period. Madrigals were short lyric poems set to music for multiple voices. Chansons were French songs that evolved from troubadour songs and reached their height in the 16th century.

The document provides information about music from the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods. It discusses the prominent genres, styles, and composers that characterized each musical era. The Medieval period saw the rise of monophonic Gregorian chants and secular Troubadour songs. The Renaissance brought polyphonic masses, madrigals, and prominent composers like Palestrina. The Baroque era featured elaborate and ornamental styles, new genres like the concerto and fugue, and influential composers such as Bach, Vivaldi, and Handel.
The document provides an overview of pre-classical period composers Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frederick Handel. It discusses that Bach was born in 1685 in Germany, was part of a musical family, and was known for his mastery of fugue and works including the Well-Tempered Clavichord and Brandenburg Concertos. Handel traveled between Germany, Italy and England, and is remembered most for his oratorios, especially Messiah.
Music has evolved over six periods throughout history. The earliest period was Medieval (500-1400) where monophonic Gregorian chant dominated and polyphony began to develop. The Renaissance (1400-1600) saw the introduction of instrumental music and the development of notation. In Baroque (1600-1760), composers experimented with form and instruments like the violin and opera emerged. Classical (1730-1820) was characterized by clearer structure and melodies like sonatas. Romantic (1815-1910) featured programmatic music and self-expression. The 20th century (1900-2000) brought new technologies and genres like rock and roll and hip hop that expanded how music was created and enjoyed.

Music of the Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque musicMariyah Ayoniv
The document summarizes the history of Western classical music from the Medieval period to the Baroque period. It describes Gregorian chants as the dominant sacred music of the Medieval era, characterized by monophonic, free meter and modal styles. Secular Troubadour music originated in France, usually monophonic with stories of love and chivalry. The Renaissance saw the rise of polyphonic styles like masses and madrigals. Famous composers of this time included Palestrina, known for church music, and Thomas Morley, a writer of madrigals. The Baroque period featured elaborate instrumental music and ornamentation. Major composers highlighted are Bach, known for organ and choral works, Vivaldi and
Music in the 16th century saw major developments, including sacred music becoming important for Protestants and Catholics in their struggles, composers writing for instruments for the first time, and rapid music printing. The madrigal genre emerged in Italy using vernacular poetry. Instrumental music grew, including intabulations, variations, and dances like the moresca. Composers like Palestrina embodied the Catholic Church's emphasis on intelligible text in music after the Council of Trent. Overall, expanding textures, intricate voicings, and attention to word painting characterized 16th century music.
The document provides information about music of the Classical period from 1750-1820. It defines key terms like classical and describes the major musical forms that developed during this era like the sonata, concerto, and symphony. The three most famous composers of the period—Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven—are discussed. Their most iconic works are mentioned and characteristics of their musical styles are summarized. The document also outlines typical instrumentation, forms, and sections of various genres like symphonies, string quartets, and operas from the Classical period.
The Baroque Period of Western Music History circa 1600 to 1750 AD. It may derive from the word barroco in Portuguese meaning “irregular shape.” Originally used in a derogatory fashion to describe artistic trends of this time period, baroque has come to broadly refer to the century and a half beginning in 1600.

The document provides a detailed history of music and musical instruments from prehistoric times to modern day. It begins with primitive music made from natural sounds and basic percussion instruments before advancing to more complex instruments like harps and flutes in ancient times. The development of music is then traced through various eras like the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods. The 20th century brought major innovations in recording technology and the development of electric and electronic instruments. The document also focuses specifically on the history of guitars, beginning with their invention in Spain in the 16th century and the development of electric guitars in the 1930s.
Early music is music of the European classical tradition from after the fall of the Roman Empire, in 476.
Western music known today has its roots in the musical practices found in Europe and the Middle East over twenty centuries ago. These musical practices, in turn, have their roots in ancient Greek and Roman practices which are detailed in musical and philosophical treatises of the time.

The Baroque era spanned from 1600-1750. Some key events during this time included the English settling Jamestown in 1607 and Galileo confirming the Earth was round in 1610. Baroque music was characterized by elaborate melodies, contrasting dynamics, and genres like opera and oratorio. Notable Baroque composers included Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frideric Handel, and Antonio Vivaldi. They helped establish common practices in music like the major-minor key system and use of counterpoint. Baroque instruments included the flute, oboe, harpsichord, and pipe organ.
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.
History of Music -Baroque and ClassicalAnabel Parra
The document provides an overview of the Baroque and Classical periods of music history. It discusses the major musical styles, forms, genres, composers, and social contexts of each period. The Baroque period saw the development of opera and oratorio, as well as the rise of instrumental music. The Classical period valued balance, clarity, and naturalness in reaction against Baroque excess. Important genres included the symphony, sonata, and chamber music. Major composers of each style are also named.
Medieval music developed between 450-1450 CE as Christianity spread across Europe. Music was primarily for the church, with Gregorian chant dominating. Notation developed in the 9th century, allowing for polyphony. Secular courtly music also arose, including songs by troubadours. Musical styles included monophonic and early polyphonic styles, with long melodies, drones, and dissonances in polyphony. Key composers included Hildegard von Bingen, Moniot d'Arras, and Guillaume de Machaut.
Twentieth century composers embraced this term to name their musical era because it seemed modern and exciting, and the various styles of music could not be combined under one stylistically descriptive term. Twentieth century music was preceded by several late romantic era developments, including impressionism and neoclassicism. In the twentieth century, there is no specific rule. There adds a term which is called visual art to music.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Strategies for Effective Upskilling is a presentation by Chinwendu Peace in a Your Skill Boost Masterclass organisation by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan on 08th and 09th June 2024 from 1 PM to 3 PM on each day.

19. *
* Viol
* An important instrument in this period
because it could be used in a variety of
ways.
* It is a bowed instrument with frets. It
has a very recognizable, nasal tone, and
was often used by upper class musicians
who had formal training.
* The strings of a viol could also be
plucked or hammered using a plectrum,
which at the time was a piece of quill,
ivory or wood.
* The violin was another instrument in
the viol family.
20. *
* Lute
* The lute was a very important
instrument in the middle ages and a lot
of music was written with it.
* Lutes are commonly played on the lap
by plucking the strings with a plectrum
or the fingers. The left hand is
positioned on the fretboard.
* They have up to 15 strings and go out of
tune easily. This is why it was replaced
by the keyboard in the Baroque period.
* The lute is not the predecessor of the
guitar, but in fact, the guitar got its
roots in Spain. Its ancestor was known
as a Vihuela.
21. *
* Recorder
* Recorders from the middle
ages were very similar to
today‟s instruments of the
same name.
* Recorders were played
simply by blowing on the
lip (or hole at the top of
the instrument), and
putting the proper fingers
over the finger holes.
22. *
* Crumhorn
* The crumhorn is unique
because the player‟s lips do not
touch the reed. There is a cap
with a slot in it which the
player blows strongly into. This
process causes the reed to
vibrate, and create sound.
* The crumhorn‟s sound is very
distinctive. It has a nasal buzzy
tone.
* The crumhorn has very limited
range due to the lack of reed
control.
23. *
* Sackbut
* The sackbut was the

* Only required 1 player.
* Used in sacred music and
secular music, as a solo
instrument or in an
ensemble.
25. *
* Harpsichord
* The harpsichord is the
piano‟s predecessor. When
the player hits a key, a quill
inside the harpsichord
plucks a string, which gives
it a sharp, very recognizable
sound.
* Harpsichords were used
both as solo instruments and
accompanying instruments
in ensembles.
26. *
* Nothing like a present day orchestra.
* There were more like small chamber groups.
* Specific instrumentation for ensembles was seldom declared in the
music score.
27. *
* Dance Music
* Dance music was originally written for social gatherings.
* Later, in the 1700s, a more specific and structured style was developed.
* Dance music had a strong rhythm and repeating sections.
* The lute was a popular instrument for dance music along with the harpsichord
and small ensembles.
28. * Cantus Firmus forms
* Basically for use in the church as it was liturgical
music.
* It was usually played by an organist between verses of
hymns sung by the congregation or choir.
* Simplistic plainsong or secular song which was meant
to be played by a harpsichord, organ or an ensemble of
viols.
