 Do you still remember your lesson about Asian music in your grade 8
What’s In music competencies? You have learned that Asian music comes in
variety of forms and has many functions as related to culture and
traditions and is composed of vocal and instrumental music. You have
also sung sample of Southeast Asian song during your performance
which you enjoyed most like the “Arirang” of Korea, “Burung Kakatua”
of Indonesia, “Rasa Sayang” of Malaysia, “Loi Loi Gratong of Thailand, “Chan Mali
Chan” of Singapore and many more which are generally based in pentatonic scale, in
which five notes create an octave. That’s different than the western scale, which uses
seven notes.
Likewise, in this module you will be learning the first part of history of Western
music. We will be discussing the characteristics of each period, composer, historical
and cultural background.

The first three periods of Western Music History are classified as Medieval,
Renaissance and Baroque. Each period has its unique characteristic, historical and
cultural backgrounds.
A type of music from medieval era is the Gregorian chant which has mainly
used in the early Christian Church.
Music during Renaissance period became an important leisure activity.
Members of the upper class were expected to have received musical training.
Baroque period is characterized by grand and elaborate ornamentation of
sculptures, theatres, arts and music. The music genres which flourished during the
Baroque period were the concerto, the fugue, the oratorio and the chorale. Music
evolved alongside with man’s constant quest for growth and development.

 Activity 1: Music of the Medieval Period

What’s More If you have observed the characteristics of the music of

medieval period, it was both sacred and secular. This was
because the medieval period (also known as the Middle Ages
or “Dark Ages”) was the time when the Roman Empire in 700-1400 century started to
fall. During this time, the Christian church influenced Europe’s culture and political
affairs.

If you have noticed, it was during this time when Pope Gregory I made the
monophonic plainchant (later known as Gregorian chant) popular and approved as the
music of the Catholic Church. Although it was transmitted orally, group of scholars
agreed to put in notation text to assist the chants dissemination all over Europe.

At present, the characteristics of the monophonic plainchants or Gregorian

chants are monophonic, free meter, modal, usually based on Latin Liturgy and uses
Neume notation.
During the latter part of the Medieval Period, secular music which was not
bound by the Catholic traditions emerged. Most of these songs were performed across
Europe by groups of musicians called Troubadours. The Troubadour’s music is
usually monophonic, sometimes with improvised accompaniment that talks about
chivalry and courtly love, originated in France and were written in the French language.
Furthermore, you have to be aware of the famous composer of the Medieval Period.

Adam de la Halle
A French composer, one of the later trouveres. Son of
Henri de la Halle who is a well-known citizen of Arras.
Adam was educated at the Cistercian Abbey of Vauc elles
and intended for the priesthood, but fall in love and
insisted on marrying (the marriage did not last). His
patrons were Robert II, Count of Artois, and Charles of
Anjou, brother of Louis IX. From 1262 he studied at the
University of Paris, and in 1271 was in the service of
Robert II of Artois, whom he accompanied to Naples,
possibly in 1282; some of his most important works were
performed at the Naples court. He died there a few years
later. While in Naples he created his famous Jeu de Robin
et Marion, performed at Naples in 1275 or 1285. This play
https://www.google.com/search?q=adam+d
e+la+halle+brief+and+important+about+him with songs and dialogue pieces is sometimes called ‘the

first comic opera’. It is known whether the melodies are
oECBEQAw&biw=1366&bih=657#imgrc=tFB folksongs or the composer’s own (though he certainly
hdF6vLMmmQM
wrote the texts) or whether the melodies are folksong or

4
 the composer’s own (though he certainly wrote the texts) or whether
instruments were used to accompany the voices. It is a naïve dramatic
pastoral with many short songs sung by the leading actors. It went down in
the history of French literature as the secular Singspiel, or song-play. His
gracefully turned melodies typify the charm of the art of the troubadours.
Adam was one of the oldest secular composers whose literary and musical
works include chansons and poetic debates. He was a trouvere, poet, and
musician, whose literary and musical works include chansons and jeux-
partis (poetic debates) in the style of the trouverse, polyphonic rondel, and
motets in the style of early liturgical polyphony.
His works includes:
1. Le Jeu de Robin et de Marion (a musical play that was considered the
earliest surviving secular French play with music.)
2. La Chanson du roi de Sicile
That’s all for the Music of Medieval period. Are you catching up? You may

Activity 2: Music of the Renaissance Period

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.
It is important for you to know the instruments used in this era. The Renaissance
changed the perception of music forever. Previously, people had thought of
instruments as accompaniments to aid vocalists as they sing. However, the
5
Renaissance composers felt that instruments could be the focus of their compositions.
The most common instrument among those who championed this type of music was
the lute. Viols were also widely popular among these musicians. The most popular viol
was the viola-da-gamba.
In addition, eras that are closely associated with renaissance music, art, and
science flourished during the Renaissance period. It was also a time of social, cultural,
and religious revolution. For example, the Church and the nobility had dominated
music and its development throughout the Medieval Period. Societal changes during
the Renaissance (1450 to 1600) encouraged deviations in how people composed
music. Instrumental music became popular as did dance music. Secular music also
started flourishing alongside religious music.
Here are the main characteristics of Renaissance period.
1. Mostly polyphonic;
2. Imitation among voices is common;
3. Use of word painting in text is common;
4. Melodic lines move in a flowing manner;
5. Melodies are easier to perform because these move along a scale with a few
large leaps;
6. Music still based on modes, but gradually more accidentals creep in;
7. Richer texture in four or more parts. Bass part is added below the tenor;
8. Blending rather than contrasting strands in the musical texture;
9. Harmony. Greater concern with the flow and progression of chords;
10. Church music. Some pieces were intended for 'a cappella' performance.
Mainly contrapuntal. Lots of imitation. Some church music was accompanied
by instruments - for example polychoral pieces in antiphonal style (Antiphonal
- Questions and Answers, Stereo Effect);
11. Secular music (none-religious music. Sacred music is to do with the church)
There was lots of vocal pieces and dances, and lots of instrumental pieces
(However a lot of the instrumentals were in a vocal style, but sonic were
suited to instruments. Vocal music was by far the more important.);
12. The characteristic timbres of Renaissance musical instruments - many
forming families.

Are you aware of the different vocal music of the different periods? Here’s the
vocal music of renaissance period.

1. Mass- a form of sacred musical composition that sets text of the Eucharistic
liturgy into music.

Characteristics of Mass:
a. Polyphonic
b. May be sung acapella or with orchestral accompaniment
c. Text maybe syllabic (one note set to each syllable), neumatic (a few
notes set to one syllable), or melismatic (many notes to one syllable)
6
 Five main sections of Mass:
1. Kyrie “Lord Have Mercy”
2. Gloria “Glory to God in the Highest”
3. Credo “Apostle’s Creed” or “Nicene Creed”
4. Sanctus and Benedictus “Holy, holy,” and “Blessed is He”
5. Agnus Dei “Lamb of God”
2. Madrigal- a secular vocal polyphonic music composition which originated
from Italy. It was written and expressed in a poetic text and sung during the
Renaissance period.
Characteristics of Madrigal:
a. Polyphonic
b. Sung a capella
c. Through-composed
d. Frequently in 3 to 6 voices
Are you familiar with the prominent composers of Renaissance Period? I want
you to look and be familiarized with the following prominent composers.

1. Giovanni Palestrina (1525, Rome Italy – February 2, 1594)

Many people consider Palestrina as the greatest
Renaissance composer. In fact, his fellow contemporaries
bench-marked their music against his. Moreover, most of
them followed his rules of composition strictly. It is
important to note that Palestrina focused on sacred music.
He was committed to sacred music and has a keen interest
in in satisfying the desires of church leaders in the
sixteenth century. More specifically, he was influential in
the development of music within the Roman Catholic
Church.
His works
includes:

2. William Byrd (1543– 1623)

Unlike Palestrina, who was an Italian composer, Byrd was

an Englishman. He is perhaps the most famous English
composer of his time. Byrd wrote various kinds of music
including consort, keyboard, and polyphony music. At first,
he wrote sacred compositions for Anglican audiences. Then,
he started writing sacred music for Catholics as soon as he
converted to Catholicism.

His works includes:

3. Thomas Morley (1557, Norwich, England – October, 1602)

The most famous composer of his time and was believed to

have studied music William Byrd. He received his Bachelor’s
degree in Oxford and became an organist at St. Cathedral in
London. He tried imitating Byrd in his early works but veered
toward composing madrigals that show a variety of color,
form and technique. Most of his madrigals are light and easy
to sing with some aspects of Italian style. Shortly after, he
began publishing his own collections of madrigals and made
significant contribution to the history of music.

Activity 3: Music of the Baroque Period
After reading the music of renaissance period, you were able to identify the
characteristics of the music, the composers and many more. There are two vocal forms
of music of the renaissance which are the Mass and the Madrigal. The five main
sections of Mass are: kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus and Benedictus and Agnus Die.
Under the Music of Baroque Period, you are going to find out the style of music
during this time. What are the characteristics of baroque music? Who are the
prominent composers? What are the genres of music? These questions will be
answered as you go through the reading activities.
You are probably wondering when or where the Baroque takes in. Baroque
takes in 1685-1750 where arts were highlighted with grandiosity and elaboration of
ornamentation. These was clearly evident in musical compositions created by the
Baroque composers.
Baroque was derived from Portuguese word barroco, meaning “pearl of
irregular shape”. During this time, changes in musical notation was developed and
there was new development in instrumental techniques. To see some of these, here
are the characteristics of the Baroque music:
• Melodies are elaborate and ornamental
• Melodies are not easy to sing or remember
• Primarily contrapuntal textures with some homophony
• Dynamic contrast-alternation between loud and soft
• Music genres- operas, oratorio, suites, toccatas, concerto grosso, fugue
• Orchestra consists of strings and continuo
• Harpsichord and organ are the keyboard instruments that are commonly used
• New forms: binary (AB); ternary (ABC); ground bass; fugue

It is important for you to determine the difference of the music genre during this
period.
1. Concerto- this was a form of orchestral music that employs a solo instrument
which is accompanied by an orchestra.
2. Concerto Grosso- an orchestral music wherein the music is between a small
group of solo instruments called concertino and the whole is called tutti during
Baroque period.
3. Fugue- a contrapuntal piece, developed mainly by imitative counterpoint. This
was usually written in 3 to 4 parts with a main theme called “subject”. The entire
piece grows mainly from a single brief tune of strong musical character.
4. Oratorio- a large scale musical composition for orchestra and voices that
incorporates narratives on religious themes. Unlike usual theatrical works, this
is usually performed without the use of costumes, scenery, or action. It is
usually written in the native language for the intended audience.
5. Chorale- this is a musical composition that resemble a harmonized version of
hymnal tunes of the protestant church during the baroque era.

11
 Lastly, you also need to know the prominent composers who made significant
changes in the music of the baroque period.
1. Johann Sebastian Bach
Born: Germany, March 21, 1685; Died: July 28, 1750
He came from a family of musician and son of the town musician in
Eisanach. He entered school at age 7 where he was taught religion
and other subjects. He became orphaned at age ten. His brother, a
church organist, provided for him. Bach’s beautiful soprano singing
voice helped him to be accepted at a school in Luneburg. A few years
later, his voice changed and Bach focused on playing the violin and
harpsichord.
Bach was a religious man. His personal and deep faith is shown in his sacred
music. He was known for his compositions for organ, orchestra and oratorio. His most
important and long-term position was a cantor at St. Thomas church. His works
include:
1. Concerto Grosso- e.g., Brandenburg Concertos
2. Masses- e.g., Mass in B minor
3. Cantatas- e.g., Cantata 208 and 211
4. Fugues- e.g., Fugue in G minor
5. Works for clavichord and harpsichord- Well-Tempered Clavier

2. Antonio Vivaldi

He is an Italian composer, catholic priest and a violinist virtuoso whose
nickname was il Prete Rosso (“The Red Priest”) because of his red
hair. Recognized as one of the greatest baroque composers, his
influence during his lifetime was widespread over Europe. Vivaldi is
known mainly for composing instrumental concertos, especially for the
violin, as well as sacred choral works and over forty operas. He entered the priesthood
and was ordained in 1703. Vivaldi is well known for giving the strings a major role in
his composition.
His most famous piece is The Four Seasons. This composition is a series of
four Violin concerti depicting each of the seasons, “Spring,” “Summer,” “Autumn,” and
“Winter.”
3. George Friedrich Handel
Born: Germany, February 23, 1685; Died: London, April 14, 1759
George secretly taught himself despite his father’s opposition. At age
7, he gained access to a church organ and started to play. A Duke
heard him play and insisted on giving him a formal music education.
Under Zachau, organist of Halle Cathedral, he studied counterpoint,
canon and fugue.
Handel is remembered for his operas and oratorios. He became England’s
favorite composer. He had given English audiences music that in variety and interest
12
rivalled anything they could remember. Handel lost his both of his eyesight in 1753.
When he conducted his oratorio “Samson,” a few in the audience were unaware that
he had lost his eyesight. His works include: “Samson”, “Messiah”, “Hallelujah”.
