II. Discussion
Music has evolved alongside with man’s constant quest for growth and
development. The emergence of different genres of music, it is also
important that we know how music evolved into the music we enjoy
nowadays. In this learning activity sheet, we will discover how today’s music
has improved through the first three periods of Western Music classified as
Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque.

MUSIC OF THE MEDIEVAL PERIOD (700-1400)

The Medieval period was also known as Middle Ages or “Dark Ages” which
started with the fall of the Roman Empire. During this era, the Christian
Church was greatly influenced by Europe’s culture and political affairs.
A monophonic plainchant known as Gregorian Chant was named after Pope
Gregory I, who made this an approved music of the Catholic Church. Pope
Gregory’s action made these monophonic plainchants popular during the
period.
MUSIC OF THE RENAISSANCE PERIOD (1400 – 1600)
The term Renaissance came from the word renaitre which means “rebirth”,
“revival”, and “rediscovery”. With the emergence of the bourgeois class,
renaissance music became more popular as entertainment and activity for
amateurs and the educated.Though sacred music was still of great
importance, secular music became more popular in this period. Renaissance
period was also known as the “golden age” of acapella choral music.
MUSIC OF THE BAROQUE PERIOD (1685 – 1750)

Composers during this period were George Friedrich Handel, Johann

Sebastian Bach, Claudio Monteverdi, and
Antonio Vivaldi. During this time, the arts highlighted grandiose and
elaborate ornamentation which were clearly seen in the musical
