Instrumental music
During the Renaissance, composers got more and more interested in
instrumental music (isolated until then). Instruments and their techniques were improved and, for the first time, some specific compositions for instruments appeared.
The Church continued with his prohibition of the use of instruments,
linked to pagan cults «dangerous» for the congregation. So, instrumental music had to evolve in the secular sphere.
On the one hand, it still served as accompaniment for secular vocal
music. On the other, a true instrumental music appeared, independent from singing and its texts.
3.2. Instruments
The tablature
Instrumental music gave room for
new notation symbols like the tablature, which shows the composer (by means of numbers, letters
or note values) how to make the
required sound.
The concept of orchestra as a stable group did not exist in group music yet. That is why instruments were not specified on the score and
the pieces were performed according to the available means of the
occasion.
Instrument families were divided into two categories depending on
sound power and not on their timbric or performing similarities:
– Haut* music: formed by instruments with great sound power. These
were groups intended for outdoor performances or public events.
The number of wind instruments increased and many of them were
built in families of different sizes in order to cover the complete tessitura of voices.
Haut: loud
Bas: quiet
Most of the instrumental forms of the Renaissance respond to three
basic types of composition:
•
ACTIVITIES
1. Look at the pictures of the main Renaissance instruments and indicate the complete classification of
each one of them.
Spinet
Adapted pieces from vocal works
They keep the typical structure and texture of the original vocal forms,
but adapted for instruments. The ricercare (derived from the motet)
and the canzona (derived from the chanson) belong to this type.
•
Chirimia
Vihuela
Pieces based on improvisation
They can be improvised upon a given melody or «cantus firmus», or
the music can be freely made up. The fantasia and the toccata (pieces in which the composer completely develops his creativity), belong
to this type.
•
Pieces based on variation
The composer starts with a simple theme that is later repeated with
different modifications. Variations can be made by transforming the
original material (changes of melodic-rhythmic designs) or by adding
new things.
This variation form received the name «differences» in Spain. It often
used popular melodies or themes borrowed from other composers.
The most prominent composers of instrumental music were Andrea
Gabrielli (1510-1586) and Giovanni Gabrielli (1557-1612), John Dowland (1563-1626), Luis de Narváez (1499-1555) and Antonio de Cabezón (1510-1566).
44
The first serious attempt to study
instruments was the treatise by
the German composer and theorist Michael Praetorius (1571-1620)
called Syntagma musicum, which
describes the instruments of the
time and how to play them.
– Bas* music: formed by instruments of soft sound intensity. These
were groups intended for indoor performances.

Borrowed melodies
The use of pre-existing melodies,
usually taken from the popular
sphere, was a common recourse
of which almost all composers
took advantage.
Crumhorn
These melodies served as a base
for the composition as «cantus
firmus» upon which polyphony
was built, or as a starting theme
for the elaboration of improvised
variations.

Development
Beginnings of
organology
The favorite solo instruments were plucked string instruments (lute
and vihuela) and keyboard instruments (organ and harpsichord), all
of them polyphonic.
Since this moment, music, which used to be improvised or performed
by heart, began to be written down. However, improvisation continued being deeply rooted and would later have its reflection in the
different ornamentation and variation techniques, typical of many
forms of instrumental music.

After the presentation, the development of concepts
appears (which constitutes the core of the unit).
The text is structured in paragraphs that incorporate
many diagrams, schemes, illustrations and musical examples that will help you follow the contents in a simpler and
more entertaining way. Short review activities, listening
and musical performances will be useful to evaluate what
you learn at the end of each part.
Some complementary contents and curiosities are included
in the margins.

When you finish the development of the unit, the
Challenge section will offer you different activities so
that you can put into practice basic abilities.

Group composition and performance
Using alternative graphic notation and what you just learnt about avant-garde musical movements,
write a composition that the whole class can perform.
The physicist and mathematician Isaac Newton (1642-1727) known for his Theory of universal gravitation,
also investigated the field of optics, being his main contribution the theory of colors. In his treatise on
Optics, published in 1704, Newton associates the chromatic circle of seven colors with the seven musical
notes, establishing the following correspondences:
C
violet
D
red
E
orange
F
yellow
G
green
A

•
You have to place your piece between two axes: a horizontal one that indicates the approximate
pitch of sound, and a vertical one that determines the duration more accurately in order to be
able to coordinate the performance.

To indicate the pitch, use the three levels of the diagram to place the symbols in ascending or
descending order, or to draw continuous lines that reflect the approximate movement of the
melodic line.
•
For durations, besides placing the symbols on their corresponding time, you can use dots or short
lines for shorter sounds, and rectangles or long lines for longer sounds.
•
The different intensities are always indicated by modifying the size of the symbol: small for soft
sounds and bigger for loud ones.

Music that made history

Antonio de Cabezón (1510-1566)
Composer and organist, blind from his childhood, he worked at the service of the emperor
Charles V and then of his son Phillip II.
His trips to foreign courts with the king in his
visits, allowed him to meet the best composers
of his time.
Most of his work is written for organ and is based
on Spanish popular songs.
It is one of Verdi’s most famous
passages (and probably of the
whole history of opera). Sung by
Hebrew slaves captive in Babylon,
the choir Va Pensiero caused the
audience’s excitement since the
day it was premiered. It became
the patriotic hymn of the Italian
«Risorgimento», which achieved
the unification of the country in
1861.
Va, pensiero, sull’ale dorate;
va, ti possa sui clivi, sui colli,
ove olezzano tepide e molli
l’aure dolci del suolo natal!
Go, thoughts, on golden wings;
Go, settle upon the slopes and hills,
where warm and soft and fragrant are
the breezes of our sweet native land!
Del Giordano le rive saluta,
de Sionne le torri atterrate...
Oh mia patria sì bella e perduta!
Oh membranza sì cara e fatal!
Greet the banks of the Jordan,
the towers of Zion ...
Oh my country so beautiful and lost!
Or so dear yet unhappy!
Arpa d’or dei fatidici vati,
perchè muta del salice pendi?
Le memorie nel petto raccendi,
ci favella del tempo che fu!
Or harp of the prophetic seers,
why do you hang silent from the willows?
Rekindle the memories within our hearts,
tell us about the time that has gone by
O simile di Sòlima ai fati
traggi un suono di crudo lamento,
o t’ispiri il Signore un concento
che ne infonda al patire virtù
Or similar to the fate of Solomon,
give a sound of lament;
or let the Lord inspire a concert
That may give to endure our suffering.
In the Listening section you will learn to recognize the
main characteristics of the musical examples. You will also
learn to move around the different repertoires.
– Explain this choir’s musical form, texture and vocal style.

The sound of the Renaissance
Unit 1
The music of the Renaissance is much more natural and expressive than the
music from the Middle Ages. It makes use of simple forms and proportions, and
it adds soft consonances of 3rd and 6th.
Each unit is wrapped up with one last page To sum up
the basic contents of the unit. And so you know how to
evaluate what you learnt, at the end of each unit you will
find a self-assessment section that we call My progress.
Religious vocal music reflected the
division of the Church. The chorale was
the hymn of Luther’s Protestant Church;
and the anthem the Anglican religious
form. The Catholic Counter-Reformation
based its music on the expressive clarity
of the text, taking polyphony to its peak
with the motet.

Secular vocal music developed several
forms of song depending on the
country: in Italy the madrigal, in France
the chanson, and in Spain, simpler and
more popular forms like the villancico,
the romance and the ensalada.
5
Instrumental music became
independent from singing. Specific
instrumental pieces, based on the
adaptation of vocal works and on the
techniques of improvisation and
variation, began to appear.
7
Instrumental families were classified,
according to intensity, in Haut or Bas
music. The most important solo
instruments were the lute, the vihuela,
the organ and the harpsichord.
6
Dance was widely accepted, and it
contributed to the development of
instrumental music.
We distinguish two types of dances:
– social dance, with the dance pair
composed of the pavane and the
galliard.
– dance theatre, which made room for
ballet.

Secular music becomes as important as religious music, and instrumental music
is born, using group instruments in families of different sizes and tessitura.
The Renaissance was a period that
lasted from the 15th to the 16th
centuries. Unlike the rest of arts, its
music did not return to the classic
models. It evolved taking the previous
Ars Nova as its basis.

Planning the itinerary
We have to plan the itinerary for our shooting
by paying attention to the duration and to
the different musical sections of the song
that we chose.
— Choose the areas (classes, workshops,
playgrounds, halls, etc.) and the tours
in order to carry out the shooting in a
continuous and dynamic itinerary.
— It would be advisable to prepare in
advance the places that are going to
be shot with small sets or posters that
will back up the image and make it more
attractive.
— Create a small chart that gathers the distribution of times of the song and the shooting places.
— You have to take care of the coordination of the sound with the image by trying to adapt the transitions
of the different musical sections with the different shooting areas.

Step 5
This section will allow you to work along with your
classmates in an annual project organized in quarters. In it, you will be able to put into practice all your
knowledge in real situations.
Rehearsals of the groups involved
We have to assign an area or place and a piece of the song for each group that is going to participate.
It is very important to adjust the acting time by rehearsing the choreography and the movements
that correspond to the music and to the part of the text of the song that has been assigned to us to
lip-synch.
Each group has to have a person in charge of defining the action and organizing the rehearsals taking into
account everybody’s contribution. He or she will also act as a link and coordinator with the people in charge
of other groups in order to ensure the unity of the project.

The history of western art music began in the ancient Greek
civilization. They understand music as an art of divine origins and
gave it a great teaching value in the education of young people.
The Middle Ages, which lasted from the Decline of the Roman Empire
in the 5th century until the 15th century, gathered all the knowledge
from Antiquity. During all these ten centuries, music, like the rest
of arts, was in the hands of the Church.
Around monasteries and cathedrals appeared a wide repertoire of
religious music, the first attempts of musical notation, and the
technical breakthroughs that ended up in the birth of polyphony.
Secular music was developed at the same time as religious music
under the protection of great feudal lords.

Greece
1.1. The divine origin of music
For Greek people, music was an art of divine origin. From this conception derives the term «music» (musiké, art of the Muses) and also from the abundant
legends told by Greek mythology that link music to the gods. Music was thought
to have magical powers that could cure illnesses and modify behaviors. That is
way it was seen as an essential discipline in the education of young people.
a
Orpheus with his lyre
The Myth of Orpheus
Orpheus was a poet and musician, son of the muse Calliope and the god Apollo, from whom he received the lyre,
becoming then an excellent musician, without a rival among mortals. Orpheus’ music was capable of dominating
all creatures, of taming beasts and bewitching trees and rocks.
Orpheus married Eurydice, but not long after their wedding, his young wife was bitten by a viper and died. Full of
pain and unable to live without his loved one, Orpheus decided to descend into the underworld in order to rescue Eurydice. With the help of his singing and his lyre, Orpheus managed to convince Hades, the God of the
dead, to let him and his wife go back, provided that he did not turn his head back to look at her until they had
reached the outer world of the living.
When they were almost done climbing, Orpheus, under the control of anxiety and love, turned back to check if
Eurydice was following him. The unfulfilled promise made Eurydice vanish forever in the world of the dead.
1.2. Characteristics of Greek music
The concept of music encompasses music, poetry and dance.
The term music did not only mean the art of sounds; it was conceived together with poetry and dance.
Musical system based on modal scales
They used the four basic modal scales which are organized in descending
order and receive a different name depending on the first note. The different
distributions of tones and semitones of each scale caused a different sonority associated with the «ethos» or particular feeling.

Music in education
Great philosophers like Plato (428347 B.C.) and Aristotle (384-322
B.C.) studied the influence that
music has on the education and
the character of citizens.
Since different scales can reflect
different feelings, they could also
pass on those emotions.
Convinced of the ability of music
to influence the behavior, they
legislated the scales or modes
that, because of their effects, were
considered good or bad for the
education of young people.

It makes use of a monodic texture with a heterophonic accompaniment
This music had a monodic texture (with just one melodic line). Instruments played a heterophonic accompaniment by sharing the melody
with the voice and introducing little ornaments.
Alphabetic notation for the pitch of sound, and metrical feet for
the rhythm
They used alphabetic notation (letters) in order to reflect different
pitches of sound. Musical rhythm was bound to the verses of the text,
coming to terms with the combinations of long and short sounds set
by the «metrical feet» of the poem.

The most important instruments were the lyre and the aulos.
The lyre (plucked string) was associated with the god Apollo, the most
powerful god of all, warrior, musician and athlete. The aulos (wind
with double reed) was associated with the worship of Dionysus, god
of wine and enjoyment.
They also used small percussion instruments like zills (small cymbals)

Middle Ages
2.1. Religious vocal music: the Gregorian chant
Religious music in the Middle Ages began to grow long before the emperor
Constantine granted freedom of religious worship for Christians in the year
313. Since then, Christianism began to expand and organize its liturgy, in
which singing was an essential element.
The main driving force of this task of expansion and unification of the liturgy
was Pope Gregory the Great (590-604). Considered by tradition as the creator of the Christian singing (hence the name Gregorian), he actually did not
invent it. He encouraged its organization as a way of strengthening the feeling of Christian unity.
Characteristics of the Gregorian chant
It is a type of music destined for the liturgy (celebration of the Mass and the
hours of Office), which makes use of Latin as its main language. Its function
is to heighten the word of God by strengthening the prayer with singing.
It has a monodic texture and a single melodic line without instrumental accompaniment.
It uses a special notation by means of neumes: symbols that approximately
reflect the pitch and duration of sound.
The musical rhythm is free, determined by the expression and accentuation
of the text to which it serves.
There are three styles of singing depending on the relation between music
and text:
Neumatic notation
Neumes were symbols whose
writing derived from the movement of the hand when conducting the singing.
They began being used in the 8th
century, placed above or below
the text to approximately indicate
the melodic motion and to help
monks remember the singings.
Virga
Punctum
Clivis
Podatus
Torculus
Porrectus
Neumatic notation evolved until
achieving an exact representation of the pitches of sound by
means of the introduction of reference lines and clefs, until the
almost modern square notation.
– Syllabic: one note per syllable.
– Neumatic or ornamented: two or three notes per syllable.
– Melismatic or florid: more than three notes per syllable.
It uses a system of eight modal scales derived from the Greek modes with a
different distribution of tones and semitones. Therefore, it has different sonority and character, which are bound to different uses.
The eight Gregorian modes appear from four main modes, defined by a final
note. Each of these four modes is divided into two versions: an authentic
mode (of higher register) and a plagal mode (of lower register) depending
on the note of the recital.

The character of the
modes
The monk Adam de Fulda wrote
the following verses about the
character of the eight modes:
The first mode lends to any
feeling, the second is suitable
for the sad things, the third is
vehement, the fourth has
tender effects, the fifth is
convenient for those who are
happy, the sixth for those
of proven piety, the seventh
belongs to the youth, the eighth
one to the knowledge.

Tropes were new texts that were
added to melismatic passages in
order to turn the singing into syllabic, and to make its learning easier. Therefore, each note of the
melisma had a corresponding syllable from the made up text.

2.2. Secular vocal music: Troubadours
and Minstrels
Goliards
Secular vocal music, represented by troubadours, was developed at the
same time as religious music under the protection of feudal lords.
There were also secular songs in
Latin called «songs of goliards».
Troubadours appeared in the south of France in the 11th century and
expanded rapidly throughout Europe.
Goliards were students and vagabond friars that performed satirical, political or religious critique,
and carnal love songs.
Troubadours were poet-musicians, generally of noble birth. Minstrels
were traveling musicians who went over castles and villages entertaining
people with songs, representations and acrobatics.
The songs of goliards are gathered in a 13th century song book
called Carmina Burana.
Characteristics of the music of troubadours
These were songs written in the vernacular languages of each area, whose
main subjects were courtly love and the knightly spirit of the heroes
from the crusades.
It is a type of vocal music with a monodic texture but with instrumental
accompaniment. The instruments carry out a heterophonic accompaniment, improvising variants and ornamentations of the melody, and doubling the voices.
It makes use of Gregorian modal scales; but due to its popular character
its rhythm is more marked.
The songs of troubadours were collected in luxuriously decorated song
books. They often included a brief text telling the story of troubadours
and exaggerating their virtues.
In Spain, the music of troubadours was represented by Cantigas de Santa
Maria of Alfonso X the Wise. These were 417 songs written in Galician-Portuguese and dedicated to the Virgin.
ACTIVITIES
1. Listen to the cantiga No. 47 by Alfonso X the Wise called Virgen Santa María.
It is a cantiga of «miragre» which tells how the Virgin saved a friar from the temptations of drinking.

The Cantigas de Santa Maria are
preserved in four codexes decorated with luxurious miniatures
in which more than thirty different instruments are drawn. That
is why we can deduce that they
were sung with instrumental accompaniment.

2.3. The birth of polyphony
In the late 9th century, polyphony (different melodic lines at the same
time) appeared in western music. This fact marked the posterior development of music, and probably appeared spontaneously with the
desire of decorating and enriching the Gregorian chant.
Primitive polyphony (9th-12th centuries)
•
Polyphony is built by improvising upon the base of Gregorian chant.
The main forms of primitive polyphony are:
Music and architecture
The monodic texture of the Gregorian chant is associated with
Romanic art, an architectural
style with sturdy and dark buildings that invite to isolation and
contemplation.
Organum: it is the oldest and most rudimentary. It appeared in the
late 9th century and consisted of adding a parallel voice of 4th or 5th
below the Gregorian chant.
The original Gregorian melody receives the name vox principalis, and
the one that is added, vox organalis.

Polyphony has it equivalent in
the longing for elevation and
light of gothic art, with high
towers and ogive pointed arches.
Melismatic organum: the Gregorian melody is developed in long
values over which the vox organalis sings long melismas.

Ars antiqua (12th-13th centuries)
The evolution of musical notation made the development of more
complex polyphonic forms easier. Music abandoned the Gregorian
free rhythm and began to measure it due to the need of synchronizing the different voices of the polyphony.
In order to measure the durations of sound, musicians had to resort
to the old Greek rhythm by using their main metrical feet.
The most important musical centre of this period was the so called
«Notre Dame School» in Paris. And its main composers were Leonin
(1150-1180) and Perotin (1183-1238).
New polyphonic forms appeared, like the conductus, composed
upon newly created melodies (not Gregorian) and the motet, with
several voices that move in different rhythms singing different texts.

Ars Nova (14th century)
New Art - Ancient Art
Polyphony started liberating itself from the Gregorian chant in order to
find a type of music closer to humanity, typical of an era that underwent
the birth of urban societies and grew apart from medieval theocentrism.
The term «Ars Nova» owes its name
to the composer Philippe de Vitry
who wrote in 1322 a treatise called
Ars Nova, to differentiate new techniques of composition and notation of his period, from the former
ones from «Ars Antiqua».
Mensural notation appeared, in which particular values were designated for each sound. Secular music became increasingly important,
making room for polyphonic forms of songs like the canon, the ballad
and the chanson.
The most important composers were Philippe de Vitry (1291-1361),
Guillaume de Machaut (1300-1377) and Francesco Landini (1335-1397).

Dance in Antiquity and the Middle Ages
All ancient civilizations practiced dancing as a way of accompaniment
and celebration of all kinds of social events. However, Greece was the
first civilization that gave dance, included in music, a fundamental
role in the education of citizens.
Dance for warriors
Greek people also used dances
for the training of warriors. The
measure imposed by the music
allowed them to march in perfect
order. The typical discipline of the
performance trained them in the
most suitable role for their task.
The Roman civilization did not give music the same importance. But,
being the heir of Greece, they included singing and dancing in their
theatrical spectacles and in every popular celebration and festivity.
The arrival of Christianism tried to eliminate dancing, associated with
pagan rites (considered dangerous for the devoted). However, profane or even religious celebrations were still accompanied by dances.
Socrates even said that «the best
warrior is the one that can dance».
Since the 12th century we find references to dancing. Some of them
sung and others exclusively instrumental.
In many manuscripts, these dances appear with the generic name
estampie. They use monodic textures and are structured in several
phrases or «puncta» that are repeated: the first time, they are repeated with an open ending and the second time, with a closed ending.
Medieval instruments
There is a great variety of instruments, and there are a lot of names for
them. The instrumental performance is improvised and it has two
functions: to accompany songs, and the performance of dances and
processions.
The most used instruments were string instruments (harp, lyre, psaltery, qanun, lute, viola, hurdy gurdy), wind instruments (horn, trumpet,
dulzaina, chirimia, flutes, bagpipes, organ) and percussion instruments (hand drums, rattle drums, cymbals, triangle, bells, rattles).
ACTIVITIES
1. Listen to the song Kalenda maya by Raimbaut de Vaqueiras. It is a sung dance and, according to what
Kalenda
they say, the troubadour wrote the lyrics of
the song maya
for the melody of an estampie some troubadours
were playing in the north of France.

b. Compare the track with the Gregorian chants that you heard and explain the differences.
c. Dare to dance: the estampie was probably a circle dance in which dancers moved in circles with strong
steps while holding hands.

«Pythagoras’ monochord»
1
The Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras (6th century B.C.) was the first one to connect
mathematics with music. He discovered the relations between numbers and sounds, and educationally
captured them in the monochord.
The monochord is a rectangular wooden
box with a tight string attached to both
ends. The shifting of the movable bridge
allows to obtain different sounds when
modifying the length of the string in
different proportions.
Monochord (National German Museum in Nüremberg).
The proportion 1:2 divides the string of the monochord in half and allows to obtain the sound of the
octave (an octave higher in relation to the base sound of the string). For example: C and C’.
The proportion 2:3 divides the string into two thirds and allows us to obtain the sound of the fifth (a
fifth higher in relation to the base sound of the string). For example: C and G.
The proportion 3:4 divides the string into three fourths and allows us to obtain the sound of the fourth
(a fourth higher in relation to the base sound of the string). For example: C and F.
Therefore, these three proportions allow to obtain the three basic degrees of the scale: I, IV and V.

a. Build a monochord and draw a graduated scale on its board with the different proportions that
correspond to the sounds of the octave, fourth and fifth. Take into account that the ratios between
numbers 12, 9, 8 and 6 are the same as the ones between 1, 3:4, 2:3, and 1:2.
b. Complete the rest of the scale by taking the tone distance produced between the proportions of
fourth and fifth as a reference. Then apply it from the base note C and from G until putting all the
notes.

Adam de la Halle (1245-1287)
Recognized as the greatest of the French trouvères, he worked in
the court of Charles of Anjou, who would later become Charles II of
Naples.
The Jeu de Robin et Marion can be considered one of the precedents
of the ópera comique.

Listen to the famous piece by Carl Orff that begins his Carmina Burana.
6
The name Carmina Burana refers to the collection of over two hundred profane Latin poems from the
13th century found in the Benedictine monastery of Beuron (Germany). They are secular songs that
represent a great deal of the goliards’ repertoire from the Middle Ages.
Orff composed a cantata for the stage in the year 1936 about 24 of these poems, in a version of impressive sonority written for soloists, choir and orchestra. Its style is simple and with great rhythmic
strength, which accentuates its original popular character.
Read the translation of the text and follow the track with the help of the simplified score we show
you. You can also use it to perform it:
Fortuna imperatrix mundi
Fortuna: Empress of the World
O Fortuna, velut luna
statu variabilis,
semper crescis aut decrescis;
vita detestabilis
nunc obdurat et tunc curat
ludo mentis aciem,
egestatem, potestatem
dissolvit ut glaciem.
Sors immanis et inanis,
rota tu volubilis,
status malus,
vana salus
semper dissolubilis,
obumbrata et velata
mihi quoque niteris,
nunc per ludum
dorsum nudum
fero tui sceleris.
Sors salutis et virtutis
mihi nunc contraria,
est affectus et deffectus
semper in angaria;
hac in hora sine mora
corde pulsum tangite,
quod per sortem sternit fortem,
mecum omnes plangite.
Oh Fortune, like the moon
you are changeable,
ever waxing and waning;
hateful life
first oppresses and then soothes
as fancy takes it;
poverty and power
it melts them like ice.
Fate, monstrous and empty,
you whirling wheel,
you are malevolent,
well-being is vain
and always fades to nothing,
shadowed and veiled
you plague me too;
now through the game
I bring my bare back
to your villainy.
Fate is against me
in health and virtue,
driven on and weighted down,
always enslaved.
So at this hour without delay
pluck the vibrating strings;
since Fate strikes down the strong man,
everyone weep with me!

Carl Orff (1895-1982)
German composer and educator
from the Neoclassicism of the
20th century, his works reflect
great structural simplicity and a
primitive character in order to
reach the widest possible audience.
The fundamental element of his
compositions and his method of
musical teaching is the rhythm. It
is the factor that generates the
melody and balances feelings
and reason.

To sum up
The sound of the Middle Ages
During the whole Middle Ages the sound of vocal music, based on the model of
Gregorian chant with modal melodies, narrow ambitus and arch designs, prevailed.
The sonority of the new forms of polyphony is supported by the fundamental
consonances of 4th, 5th and 8th, which give music a primitive and rough character.
The sound of instruments is high and penetrating, with small groupings of soloists.
1
The Greek civilization regarded music as
an art of divine origin. Their legends
attribute the invention of instruments to
particular gods that gave music
supernatural powers
2
The concept of music in Greece
encompassed the art of sounds, poetry
and dance.
Music had a monodic texture with
heterophonic accompaniment. They used
alphabetic notation for the pitches and
metrical feet to measure durations.
3
Greek scales were modal, and their
different sonority provoked different
«ethos» or behaviors that made music a
fundamental discipline in education.
4
The Middle Ages lasted from the 5th to
the 15th centuries, a period dominated by
the power of the Church and by a profound
theocentrism that made room for the
predominance of religious music.
5
The Gregorian chant was the liturgical
chant of the Christian church. Its text is in
Latin and has a monodic texture. It uses
modal scales and a free rhythm based on the
accentuation and the phrasing of the text.
6
7
Polyphony appeared in the late 9th
century and was developed in three stages:
- Primitive polyphony (9th-12th C.):
improvised polyphony upon the base of
Gregorian chant.
- Ars Antiqua (12th-13th C.): voices are
measured using Greek metrical feet.
- Ars Nova (14th C.): mensural notation and
the secular polyphonic song appeared.
9
Medieval instruments presented a great
variety of forms and names. They were
used to accompany secular songs and to
perform dances and processions.
Secular music was represented by the
songs of troubadours. They used monodic
textures and the scales of the Gregorian
chant. But they were sung in vernacular
languages accompanied by instruments
and had a marked rhythm.
8
Dancing was used in Ancient Greece as
a fundamental part of education.
Christianism forbade dances, but in the
Middle Ages we find examples generically
called estampies.
