The Six Historical

Style-Periods of
Western Art
Music
Middle Ages
(approx. 450-1450):
An era dominated by Catholic
sacred music, which began as
simple chant but grew in
complexity in the 13th -15th
centuries by experiments in
harmony and rhythm.
Leading composers of the later
Middle Ages include Pérotin and
Machaut.
Renaissance (1450-1600) :
A more personal style emerged in this era with a greater
focus on Humanism, and a rebirth of learning and
exploration. During this "golden age of vocal music”.
Baroque (approximately 1600-1750):
This era—the last great age of aristocratic rule— is represented by
extremely ornate and elaborate approaches to the arts. This era saw
the rise of instrumental music, the invention of the modern violin
family and the creation of the first orchestras.
Classic (approximately 1750-1820):
The music of this politically
turbulent era focused on structural
unity, clarity and balance. The new
expressive and dramatic approaches
to composition and performance
that were developed in this era
became the standards that all
"Classical" music are judged by.
Romantic (approximately 1820-1900):
This era witnessed an explosion of flamboyance, nationalism, the
rise of "superstar" performers, and concerts aimed at middle-class
"paying" audiences. Orchestral, theatrical and soloistic music
grew to spectacular heights of personal expression.
Modern (approximately 1900-present):
Since approximately 1900, art-music has been impacted by
daring experimentation and advances in musical
technology, as well as popular/non-Western influences.
