The periods of Music
The history of Music can be divided into periods
which we will be exploring over the next few weeks.
Each period of music has different
characteristics,but it is important to remember that
the changes did not happen overnight...Beethoven
didn´t wake up on New Year´s Day 1820 and decided
to compose Romantic Music,The change from each
period into the next was gradual and organic.

ARLY MIDDLE AGES LATE MIDDLE AGES
V-XII XIII-XV
Middle Ages
1. Around 450 A.C. the Roman
Empire began to disintegrate.
2. This was the beginning of the “dark
ages”.
3. Life was hard and full of migrations,
upheavals, and wars.
4.In the later Middle Ages churches and monasteries
were constructed,towns grew and universities were
founded.
HOMEWORK!!!:
What Medieval
Universities are in
Spain?
Explain the origin of
Carmina Burana.
5.This was a time of three social classes:
NOBILITY
PEASANTRY
•CLERGY
NOBILITY
Nobles were sheltered within
castles surrounded by
moats.
The men were often knights
during war time.
In peace time, they amused
themselves with hunting,
feasting, and tournaments.
•Peasants – the majority of people –
lived miserably in one-room huts.
•Many were bound to the soil and
subject to feudal overlords.
•Homes were damp and cold.The
entire family shared one room.
PEASANTS
CLERGYCLERGY
•Monks in monasteries held a monopoly on
learning.
•The church was the center of musical life.
•Musicians were servants and worked for the
church.
•An important occupation in monasteries
was liturgical singing.
•Women were not allowed to sing in the
church.
6.The medieval Era is the longest and
most remote period of musical history.
7.The church was the focal
point of social life,learning
and the arts.
8.Saint Gregory,who was pope from 590-604
A.C,was the organiser of a huge repertoire of
chants that developed during the first
centuries of the Christian Church.
GENERAL MUSIC CHARACTERISTICS:
A)NOTATION:
Early Medieval music notation did not look like the
notation is used in the present day music.The earliest
signs of a notational system for music used NEUMES.
THE NEUMES WERE SYMBOLS THAT SPECIFIED
PITCH AND MANNER OF PERFOMANCE BUT NOT
EXACTLY THE PITCH(STAFF WERE NOT
INVENTED),NEITHER THE RHYTHM(NOTE VALUES
WERE NOT CREATED TOO).SO ,THESE SCORES
WERE VERY DIFFICULT TO BE PERFORMED AND
NOWADAYS WE CAN´T TRANSLATE MOST OF THEM.
OTHER MUSICAL NOTATION,SUCH US RHYTHM,
DIDN´T BEGIN UNTIL THE 12TH OR 13TH CENTURIES.
B)THREEE KINDS OF MUSIC:
-FIRST KIND,GREGORIAN CHANT(PLAIN SONG):IT´S THE MAIN
FORM OF THIS PERIOD
-IT WAS MONOPHONIC(ONE MELODIC LINE WITH NO
ACCOMPANIMENT).
-VERY SERENE IN RHYTHM.
-SMALL MELODIC RANGES.
-WRITTEN IN LATIN.
-THEY WERE ANONYMUS.
-SECOND KIND OF MUSIC:EARLY POLYPHONY.
-IN THE LAST PART OF THE MIDDLE AGES.
-IT WAS MUSIC WHICH CONSISTED OF TWO OR
MORE MELODIC LINES THAT WERE HEARD
SIMULTANEOUSLY,SO IT WAS CALLED
POLYPHONY.
-THIS APPEARED AROUND THE 1200S.
-WRITTEN IN LATIN.
-MOST OF THE PIECES WERE RELIGIOUS BUT
THERE WERE SOME SECULAR PIECES TOO.
-THIRD KIND OF MUSIC IN THIS
PERIOD WAS THE SECULAR SONG
-IT WAS MONOPHONIC.
-IT COULD HAVE INSTRUMENTAL
ACCOMPANIMENT
-IT HAD STRONG AND REGULAR
RHYTHMS.
-IT WAS SECULAR MUSIC,NOT
RELIGIOUS MUSIC.
SECULAR
MUSIC:
TROBADOURS
TROBADOUR IS THE
GENERIC TERM FOR
POETS AND
MINSTRELS WHO
FLOURISHED IN
SOUTHERN FRANCE
AND IN NOTHERN
ITALY FROM THE 11TH
THROUGH THE 13TH
CENTURIES.
Normally, they used new
musical instruments,brought
back to Western Europe from
the Crusades.
Trobadours were not
professional
musicians,however,
they were educated
people and rich
nobleman who spent
most of his time
WRITING AND
PERFORMING
SONGS.
JONGLEURS
Jongleurs were
professional singers
who performed these
compositions from
town to town but they
did not compose the
scores.
These artists
converted story
telling into an
art,and often
enterteined hugh
crowds at
fairs,weddings
and other
medieval
celebrations.

OTHER POLYPHONIC
MUSICAL FORMS:
CONDUCTUS:A medieval vocal
composition consisting of one to four
voice parts the lowest of which is
composed of a Latin text set to an
invented melody and accompanied
homophonically by the other voices.
MOTET:the name describes the movement of the
different voices against one another.
The first
polyphonic works
were religious
music but by the
end of this period
composers began
to write religious
works that will be
very important in
the Renaissance
period.

APENDIX:MUSIC PRINTING
GUIDO D’AREZZOHe was an
Benedictine monk
who invented Do-
Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-
Ti-Do and the
staff system that
modern music is
written on. Are
you stunned? Did
you think those
things always
existed?ND
Guido is most famous for what is known as
Guido’s Hand, but it was probably developed
after his lifetime. This particularly charming
invention uses the creases on a hand to show the
placement of the notes, each corresponding to a
note from solfeggio.
Using this, Guido (or any choir director) could
point to a place on his hand, and the choir would
sing the corresponding note. Suddenly, entirely
rote memorization for learning music evolved to
use visual aids.
Although neumes existed already, and scholars
at Notre Dame in Paris studied and scrupulously
applied them to the collections of chant texts that
Pope Gregorius (c540-604) had ordered.
 These neumes provided information about the
movement between notes and a little about their
duration, but no information about which specific
note to sing.
A great deal of memorization (and guessing) was
involved.
Guido suggested the use of lines and spaces to
depict which note was sung (including a red line
for F and a yellow line for C).
It could be accurately reproduced by someone
else who had never heard it.
The method was widely adopted, and neumes
changed to accommodate the format, becoming
less florid, and more regular.
The modern staff had five lines.
This invention made it easier to memorize music
(because of the visual aspect), and it became
possible for individuals to study separately and
come together with the same music learned.
The memorization factor went away.
Notación musical
Algunos ejemplos de su evolución
Notación gregoriana aquitana adiastemática (sin pautas)
Arxiu Comarcal del Bages. Manresa (Cataluña)
Notación gregoriana cuadrada
sobre tetragrama, en clave de Fa
S.XIV
Arxiu Comarcal del Bages.
Manresa (Cataluña)
Himno a San Juan Bautista (Pablo el Diácono, en el Siglo VIII)
Guido d’Arezzo lo utilizó con sus discípulos para recordar la entonación de los
sonidos mediante las primeras sílabas de cada verso en el S. X
Mano guidoniana
La mano guidoniana fue un
sistema mnemotécnico utilizado
para ayudar a los cantantes a leer
a primera vista.
Cada porción de la mano
representa una nota específica.
Para enseñar el sistema, el
maestro indica una serie de notas
sobre la palma de la mano, y el
estudiante debe entonarlas, en
forma similar a los ademanes
utilizados en conjunción con el
solfeo.
¿Y que hay de la
duración?
La notación neumática así como
la cuadrada supusieron grandes
progresos en la escritura musical,
pero quedaba impreciso el ritmo a
adoptar, era pues necesario
introducir la dimensión de tiempo -
duración en la escritura musical.
Surge la notación mensural (S.
XIII), en la que las notas tendrán
formas diferentes según su
duración. Aparecen, por lo tanto,
las figuras.
La invención de la imprenta en supuso un cambio radical para la
divulgación de las partituras.

  • 43. 8.Saint Gregory,who was pope from 590-604 A.C,was the organiser of a huge repertoire of chants that developed during the first centuries of the Christian Church.
  • 45. A)NOTATION: Early Medieval music notation did not look like the notation is used in the present day music.The earliest signs of a notational system for music used NEUMES. THE NEUMES WERE SYMBOLS THAT SPECIFIED PITCH AND MANNER OF PERFOMANCE BUT NOT EXACTLY THE PITCH(STAFF WERE NOT INVENTED),NEITHER THE RHYTHM(NOTE VALUES WERE NOT CREATED TOO).SO ,THESE SCORES WERE VERY DIFFICULT TO BE PERFORMED AND NOWADAYS WE CAN´T TRANSLATE MOST OF THEM. OTHER MUSICAL NOTATION,SUCH US RHYTHM, DIDN´T BEGIN UNTIL THE 12TH OR 13TH CENTURIES.
  • 46.
  • 47. B)THREEE KINDS OF MUSIC: -FIRST KIND,GREGORIAN CHANT(PLAIN SONG):IT´S THE MAIN FORM OF THIS PERIOD -IT WAS MONOPHONIC(ONE MELODIC LINE WITH NO ACCOMPANIMENT). -VERY SERENE IN RHYTHM. -SMALL MELODIC RANGES. -WRITTEN IN LATIN. -THEY WERE ANONYMUS.
  • 48. -SECOND KIND OF MUSIC:EARLY POLYPHONY. -IN THE LAST PART OF THE MIDDLE AGES. -IT WAS MUSIC WHICH CONSISTED OF TWO OR MORE MELODIC LINES THAT WERE HEARD SIMULTANEOUSLY,SO IT WAS CALLED POLYPHONY. -THIS APPEARED AROUND THE 1200S. -WRITTEN IN LATIN. -MOST OF THE PIECES WERE RELIGIOUS BUT THERE WERE SOME SECULAR PIECES TOO.
  • 49. -THIRD KIND OF MUSIC IN THIS PERIOD WAS THE SECULAR SONG -IT WAS MONOPHONIC. -IT COULD HAVE INSTRUMENTAL ACCOMPANIMENT -IT HAD STRONG AND REGULAR RHYTHMS. -IT WAS SECULAR MUSIC,NOT RELIGIOUS MUSIC.

  • 60. POLYPHONY WE CAN DEFINE POLYPHONY AS TWO OR MORE MELODIES TOGETHER WITH NONE OF THEM BEING MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE OTHER.
  • 62. WE CAN DEFINE POLYPHONY AS TWO OR MORE MELODIES TOGETHER WITH NONE BEING MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE OTHER(ALL OF THEM WERE ,NOT ACCOMPANIMENT VOICES)
  • 63.
  • 65. THE FIRST POLYPHONY WAS KNOWN AS ORGANUM AND YOU CAN FIND DIFFERENT TYPES OF ORGANUM.
  • 67. FREE ORGANUM PHRASES BEGIN AND END IN UNISON,WITH ONE VOICE MOVING IN OBLIQUE MOTION AWAY FROM THE OTHER VOICE.
  • 68. DISCANTUS. THE VOICES PRODUCE OPPOSITE MOVEMENTS BETWEEN THEM.SO IF THE FIRST VOICE RAISES UP A SECOND INTERVAL THE OPPOSITE VOICE LOWERS A SECOND INTERVAL TOO.

  • 98. GUIDO D’AREZZOHe was an Benedictine monk who invented Do- Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La- Ti-Do and the staff system that modern music is written on. Are you stunned? Did you think those things always existed?ND
  • 99. Guido is most famous for what is known as Guido’s Hand, but it was probably developed after his lifetime. This particularly charming invention uses the creases on a hand to show the placement of the notes, each corresponding to a note from solfeggio. Using this, Guido (or any choir director) could point to a place on his hand, and the choir would sing the corresponding note. Suddenly, entirely rote memorization for learning music evolved to use visual aids.
  • 100. Although neumes existed already, and scholars at Notre Dame in Paris studied and scrupulously applied them to the collections of chant texts that Pope Gregorius (c540-604) had ordered.  These neumes provided information about the movement between notes and a little about their duration, but no information about which specific note to sing. A great deal of memorization (and guessing) was involved. Guido suggested the use of lines and spaces to depict which note was sung (including a red line for F and a yellow line for C).
  • 101. It could be accurately reproduced by someone else who had never heard it. The method was widely adopted, and neumes changed to accommodate the format, becoming less florid, and more regular. The modern staff had five lines. This invention made it easier to memorize music (because of the visual aspect), and it became possible for individuals to study separately and come together with the same music learned. The memorization factor went away.

  • 107. Himno a San Juan Bautista (Pablo el Diácono, en el Siglo VIII) Guido d’Arezzo lo utilizó con sus discípulos para recordar la entonación de los sonidos mediante las primeras sílabas de cada verso en el S. X
  • 108. Mano guidoniana La mano guidoniana fue un sistema mnemotécnico utilizado para ayudar a los cantantes a leer a primera vista. Cada porción de la mano representa una nota específica. Para enseñar el sistema, el maestro indica una serie de notas sobre la palma de la mano, y el estudiante debe entonarlas, en forma similar a los ademanes utilizados en conjunción con el solfeo.
  • 109.
  • 110. ¿Y que hay de la duración? La notación neumática así como la cuadrada supusieron grandes progresos en la escritura musical, pero quedaba impreciso el ritmo a adoptar, era pues necesario introducir la dimensión de tiempo - duración en la escritura musical. Surge la notación mensural (S. XIII), en la que las notas tendrán formas diferentes según su duración. Aparecen, por lo tanto, las figuras.
