MUSIC 9 QUATER 1 LESSON 4

1. Other Art Forms of Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque Music The first three periods of Western Music History are classified as Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque. Each period has its distinctive characteristics, historical and cultural background.

2. Medieval Arts were represented by the Byzantine, Romanesque and Gothic Era. Byzantine art made to glorify the Christian Religion and to express its mystery. It was filled with spiritual symbolism and illustrated a love of splendour . It was a combination of Eastern (decorative art forms) and Classical Western Art (naturalistic art). Romanesque art was characterized by its very vigorous style in painting and sculpture, lavishly decorated manuscripts and retained many basic features of Roman Architectural styles. It was greatly influenced by Byzantine Art with a highly innovative and coherent style. Gothic Art reinforced symbolic meaning. Renaissance Arts covered artworks produced during the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries in Europe. It pertains to arts, particularly in Italy, such as sculptures, paintings, music, architecture and literature. The common subject of this period is human philosophy. Renaissance art was characterized by accurate anatomy, scientific perspective and deeper landscape.

3. Baroque was a period of artistic styles in exaggerated motion, drama, tension and grandeur. Paintings illustrated key elements of Catholic dogma, either directly in Biblical works or indirectly in imaginary or symbolic work. Sculptures were typically larger than life size and was marked by a similar sense of dynamic movement along with an active use of space. Architecture was designed to create spectacle and illusion, thus, the straight lines of the Renaissance were replaced with flowing curves. Dance Suite, a collection of dance music, was introduced and made popular in this period such as Minuet, Polonaise, Overture, Bourree , Gavotte. Gigue, Reigaudon and many others.
