What This Module is About

This module is about the music of the first three periods of Western Music
History which is classified as Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque. Each period has
its distinctive characteristics, historical and cultural background.

In this module the learner is expected to learn to create instrument and use it
as an accompaniment of the music on the three periods

A type of music from the Medieval Era is Gregorian Chant, which was mainly
used in the early Christian church.

Music during the Renaissance Period became an important leisure activity.

Imitative polyphony is the distinctive characteristic of Renaissance music which was
accompanied by various musical instruments .

The Baroque Period is characterized by grand and elaborate ornamentation of

sculptures, theaters, arts and music. The music genres which flourished during the
Baroque Period were the Concerto, the Fugue, the Oratorio and the Chorale.
Musical instruments were similar in the orchestra today.

What I Need to Know

OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this module, the learners are expected to:

 Improvise appropriate accompaniment to selected music from Medieval,

Renaissance and Baroque Period.

What’s In

Music during Medieval period consists mainly of songs and instrumental pieces that
is based on sacred text and settings though secular music was slowly evolving about 500
A.D. to 1400. Music that uses monophonic plainchant is called Gregorian chant.

In the Renaissance Period, music became a vehicle for personal expression.

Composers found ways to make vocal music more expressive of the texts they were setting.
Secular music absorbed techniques from sacred music, and vice versa. Popular secular
forms such as the chanson and madrigal spread throughout Europe. Courts employed
virtuoso performers, both singers and instrumentalists. Music also became more self-
sufficient with its availability in printed form. Instruments during this period were acquired
from the previous era but with improvements and innovation, only to be recreated in order to
perform music of the period on authentic instruments.

Musical instruments used in Baroque music were partly used already before, partly
are still in use today, but with no technology. The important instruments that were
developed during this period were harpsichord and organ.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3YdRHocF4w&list=PLJmgcc5y_b4rX4CnHkKqhcznsHJwaA6Iw

Reflection:

1. What are the instruments during the Medieval period?

2. How important are those instruments during that period?
3. Which instrument is commonly used in the Renaissance period?
4. What are the differences between the instruments during Renaissance from the
Baroque period?

What Is It

During the Middle Ages, most of the music was vocal and unaccompanied. The
church wanted to keep music pure and solemn because it was less distracting. The oldest
Medieval musical instrument was the human voice. The spread of Christianity in the Dark
Ages and the early Medieval period led to the popularity of hymns and secular songs.

During the Renaissance period, most of the musical activity shifted from the church
to the courts. Musical instruments used during this period include the cornett, harpsichord,
and recorder. A musical instrument called shawm was used for dance music and outdoor
events.

String instruments such as the lute, violin, viola, cello and double bass were used
during the Baroque period. Brass instruments like the trumpet, horn and sackbut were used.
Popular wind instruments included the recorder, flute, oboe and bassoon. Baroque keyboard
music was often composed for the organ or harpsichord.

What I Can Do
Activity 1. “ My Video Performance”
Instruction:
At home using your improvised instrument video yourself while singing or playing music as
a singer of madrigal during the Renaissance period. Then, have it posted in Facebook or you
tube channel. Read the comments, monitor the number of reactions and send report to the
teacher.
Summary
In all of these early cultures the social functions of music were essentially the same,
since their climate, geographic location, cultural pace, and mutual influences produced many
more social similarities than differences. The primary function of music was apparently
religious, ranging from heightening the effect of “magic” to ennobling liturgies and in most
cases, enlivening backgrounds to social gatherings that involved either singing or dancing or
both.
Transformation in music from the Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque is very
evident as years goes by. It has been developed from its composition, musical instruments
and even the performance. It is a very important part of the society and even became a
means of living, a form of entertainment as well as an expression of moods and feelings of
the composers. Music is indeed the language of our soul.
