 What I Need to Know

Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque music have distinctive characteristics. The

following activities will develop your musical skills as you incorporate the different musical
concepts that you have learned in the first part of the unit.

In the beginning, chants were taught orally. However, as the number of chants
increased, singers needed help in remembering the outlines of the melodies. Later, the chants
were notated in the manuscript as a single melodic line without accompaniment. Neumes were
written above the words to suggest the contour of the melody. Eventually, musical notation of
the period was written as square notes on a four-short each line staff.
In this module you are expected to:
 Perform music from Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque Period
(MU9MRB-Ib-h-4, Week 6-7)

 Make a chant using the characteristics of Gregorian Chant

 Make a music using the characteristics of Troubadour Music
