Culture and Music The Renaissance & The ReformationJohn Peter Holly
The Protestant Reformation in the 16th century led to the development of new religious denominations that broke from the Catholic Church. These new denominations each developed their own styles of church music, most notably the German chorale style. The chorale style featured a homophonic texture with a melody in the highest voice accompanied by lower voices sharing the same rhythm. This style influenced hymns and part-songs and can be traced through Bach's chorales to influence harmony in classical and later music such as Christmas carols and popular music genres.

The Big Band Era occurred in the early-to-mid 20th century, when large ensembles known as "big bands" became extremely popular. Big bands typically had 17 musicians including saxophones, trumpets, trombones, and a rhythm section. In the 1930s-40s, Swing music emerged and was popularized by big band leaders like Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, and Glenn Miller. Big band music was an important part of American culture during this time and helped develop new styles of jazz, but its popularity declined after World War II as musical tastes changed. However, big bands and jazz have continued to evolve up to the present day.
The document discusses post-modernism in music from the 1930s onward. It describes how post-modernism marked a period of fragmentation and experimentation following modernism, with no single dominant musical style.

Examples discuss composers like Philip Glass, Gunther Schuller, and George Crumb, who incorporated influences like minimalism, jazz fusion, and unusual instruments and techniques.

Historians later adopted the term "modern music" to connect new musical values with modern art, literature and philosophy.

5. The words “romance” and
“romantic” are words that have
definitions that are seldom fully
understood.
6. In contemporary American English,
the word “romance” is almost always
used in connection with the word
“love.” In this most common use of the
word, “romance” is used to refer to a
love affair.
But that is only one definition of
the word – and not the original one.
7. In fact, that usage of the word
“romance” is listed as the
7th
definition in many dictionaries.
Here are the other definitions of the
word, “romance,” which are less
commonly used today.
8. Romance:
1.A novel or other prose story
depicting heroic or marvelous deeds,
pageantry, romantic exploits, etc.,
usually in a historical or imaginary
setting;
(The French word for “novel”
is “roman.”)
10. Romance:
3. a Medieval narrative, originally
one in verse and in some Romance
language, treating a heroic,
fantastic, or supernatural series of
events, often in the form of
an allegory.
15. Romance:
8. a group of Indo-European languages
descended since 800 A.D. from Latin,
including French, Spanish, Italian,
Portuguese, Romanian, Provençal
and Catalan.
16. Romance:
9. to invent or relate romances;
to indulge in fanciful or extravagant
stories or daydreams.
17. In the context or definition we are
using in this course, the word
“Romantic” is used in connection with
the word “Romanticism,” a movement
in art, literature, music and intellectual
thought that originated in the second
half of the 18th century in Europe and
spread to the Americas and other
places around the world.
18. So the word “Romantic”
as applied to art, literature
and music history has little
or nothing to do with
the usual contemporary
usage of the word.
19. The music you have been listening to
is the song “Isn’t It Romantic?”
It was written in 1932 by the
American composer and lyricist team
Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart.
It was sung in this performance
by the very famous jazz vocalist
Ella Fitzgerald (1917 – 1996).
