Romanesque (Medieval) Music 600-1150

Gregorian Chant: more properly called “Plainchant.”

Monophony: one voice Responsorial: soloist with

choral response Conjunct: connected notes

with small intervals producing flowing sound

Melismatic: syllable extended over several notes emphasizing particular words.

Purpose: encourage prayerful state without distraction of instruments

Anonymous creators who improvised and transmitted work orally.

Haec dies (“This is the day..”)

This is the day which the Lord hath

made; we will rejoice and be glad of it

O give thanks to the Lord for He is good: for his mercy endureth forever.

Renaissance Music: 1450-1600

Humanism in Music: Like artists turned to pre-Christian models. Wanted music to have same effect on listener as Greek music had. Knew about Pythagorean views on music as representing order of cosmos with the power to change nature and alter souls.

Continuous imitation: lines imitate each other. Cantus firmus: Fixed melody serves as basis for elaborate imitation by

other voices. Homophony: Composition with several voices in which one melodic line

dominates other musical lines. Word painting; musical gesture reflects meaning of the word being

sung.

Josquin Desprez, “Ave Maria . . . virgo serena” 1470s Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with you, gentle Virgin. Hail, whose conception, Full of solemn joy, Fills the heaven, the earth, With new rejoicing. Hail, whose birth Was our festival, As our luminous rising light Coming before the true sun. Hail, pious humility, Fertility without a man, Whose annunciation Was our salvation. Hail, true virginity, Unspotted chastity, Whose purification was our cleansing. Hail, famous with all Angelic virtues, Whose assumption was Our glorification.
