B. Let Us Study
ART FORMS RELATED TO MEDIEVAL, RENAISSANCE AND BAROQUE MUSIC
MEDIEVAL
Liturgical drama
During this time of liturgical musical drama unfolds throughout
Europe. Guillaume d'Aquitaine was one of the well-known troubadours with most
themes centered around chivalry and courtly love.
The lifetime of Hildegard von Bingen, a highly regarded abbess who
was conferred the title of "doctor of the church" by Pope Benedict XVI. One of her
works as a composer, the "Ordo Virtutum," is an early example of liturgical drama
and arguably the oldest surviving morality play.

Poetry
This period is the age of the Goliards. The Goliards were a group of
clergy who wrote satirical Latin poetry to mock the church. Some known Goliards
were Peter of Blois and Walter of Chatillon.

Literature
This period was the birth of minnesang, which were lyrics and songs
writing in Germany much like the troubadour tradition of France. Minnesingers
mainly sang of courtly love and some known minnesingers were Henric van
Veldeke, Wolfram von Eschenbach, and Hartmann von Aue.
The spread of geisslerlieder or flagellant songs. The practice of
flagellation was practiced by people whipping themselves with various instruments
as a way to repent to God with hopes of ending the disease and wars of the time.
Geisslerlieder music was simple and closely related to folk songs.

Architecture
The flowering of the Notre Dame school of polyphony, from around
1150 to 1250, corresponded to the equally impressive achievements in Gothic
architecture.

The music of this period is called the Parisian school, or Parisian

organum, and represents the beginning of what is conventionally known as Ars
antiqua.

RENAISSANCE

Painting
One of the most significant achievements of the time in music and
painting is the transition from successive to simultaneous composition. Painting
and music found their equivalent in the literature of the time, where protagonists
find psychological depth.

Word painting
Was utilized by Renaissance composers to represent poetic images
musically. For example, an ascending melodic line would portray the text
“ascension to heaven.” Or a series of rapid notes would represent running.

Theater Arts
From the Renaissance on, the day began to be measured in twenty-
four-hour periods, which, when applied to theatre and opera, becomes the famous
“règle des 24 heures” (24-hour rule). It stipulated that all action on stage has to be
started and completed within 24 hours – a rule which continued until the 19th
century and was broken only by the Romantic time period.

Technology
The invention of the printing press in 1439 made it cheaper and
easier to distribute music and music theory texts on a wider geographic scale and
to more people. Prior to the invention of printing, written music and music theory
texts had to be hand-copied, a time-consuming and expensive process.

Opera
A dramatic staged genre in which singers are accompanied by
instruments, arose at this time in Florence. Opera was developed as a deliberate
attempt to resurrect the music of ancient Greece (OED 2005).

BAROQUE – Sculptures

ART: Contrast in light from dark.

MUSIC: The differences between loud and soft, fast and slow, complicated textures
(polyphony) and single melodies, solo and ensembles (as in the concerto below) and
different instruments and timbres (how instruments sound) all contribute to the
diverse contrast and drama of Baroque music.
Opera

ART: Realistic perfection.

MUSIC: Vivaldi's concerto "Four Seasons" as well
as Bach's cantatas, and Rameau's operas
demonstrate how their music portrayed realistic
images, stories and scripture and brought them
to life with sound.

ART: Subject matter including religious subjects as well,

Painting but also in the Baroque, people of all classes were
painted in more realistic settings. Note: The famous
painting, "Girl with a Pearl Earring" by Vermeer stands
out not only because of its beauty but the subject is a
peasant gal and not one of royalty.
MUSIC: Most composers earned a living writing music
for royalty and/or the church. Many of the compositions
of the time were dictated by the demands of those who
could pay. Girl with a Pearl Earring, oil on canvas, 1665
by Vermeer.

Direction: Classify the items in the box according to the historical period to which it
belongs. Write the words in the column below.

E. Let Us Remember
 Over the years, the relationship between music, the arts and literature has
always focused on their similarities and differences. Many writers considered music
as the highest of the arts in relation to painting and literature, since it remains in
the realm of imagination and is not tied to a specific represented reality. The music
of the medieval period, just like any other kind of music, expressed feelings that
were difficult to put into words, and words that remained unspoken. Same on how
other artists expressed their emotions to their art forms.
