Music is timeless. Melodies from the past can still be heard today. Tunes maybe
played differently in the techno-world, but one thing never change, “Music will always be
part of man’s life”.

1
The Medieval period is also known as the Middle Ages or “Dark Ages” that started
with 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 the approved music of the Catholic Church .

The term “Renaissance” comes from the word renaitre which means “rebirth”,
“revival”, and “rediscovery”. The Renaissance period is a period of “looking back” to the
Golden Age of Greece and Rome.

The invention of printing in the 1400’s paved the way for a wide distribution of
renaissance compositions. With the emergence of the bourgeois class, renaissance music
became popular as entertainment and activity for amateurs and educated.

The word “Baroque” is derived from the Portuguese word barroco which means
“pearl of irregular shape.” During this time, the arts highlighted grandiose and elaborate
ornamentation. These were clearly seen in the musical compositions created by Baroque
composers.

The following are the musical elements that you can use in analyzing the given
music of Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque Period.

Pitch – register (high or low); Organization of pitches with a pattern of intervals between
them creates scales; Words we might use to describe scales: major/minor, chromatic and
pentatonic.

Rhythm – the time element of music. A specific rhythm is a specific pattern in time; we
usually hear these in relation to a steady pulse, and mentally organize this pulse
or tempo into meter (sometimes called a "time signature"). Meter organizes beats into

2
groups, usually of two or three; beats can be divided into small units usually 2, 3 or 4
subdivisions

Melody, or musical line, is a combination of pitch and rhythm (some say


"duration"). Sometimes a melody is considered to be the theme of a composition. We might
characterize melody by its contour (rising or falling) and the size of the intervals in it. A
melody that uses mostly small intervals (or scale steps) and is smooth is said to be a conjunct
melody.

Timbre – sound quality or tone color; timbre is the characteristic that allows us to distinguish
between one instrument and another, and the difference between vowel sounds (for example,
long "a" or "ee"). Terms we might use to describe timbre: bright, dark, brassy, reedy, harsh,
noisy, thin, buzzy, pure, raspy, shrill, mellow, strained.

Dynamics – loud or soft. A composition that has extremely soft passages as well as
extremely loud passages is said to have a large or wide dynamic range. Dynamics can
change suddenly or gradually (crescendo, getting louder, or decrescendo, getting softer.)

Texture – monophonic (one voice or line), polyphonic (many voices, usually similar, as in
Renaissance or Baroque counterpoint), homophonic (1. a melody with simple
accompaniment; 2. chords moving in the same rhythm (homorhythmic)) heterophony –
“mixed” or multiple similar versions of a melody performed simultaneously (rare in
European music; possibly used in Ancient Greece) collage – juxtaposition & superimposition
of extremely different textures or sounds
