Territorial Expansion and Increased Wealth
  • As a result of colonial expansion, great wealth
    flowed into European cities and courts.
  • Travel and the resulting musical exchange became
    a driving force for the creation of a more
    international musical style.

18
Increased Patronage of Music
  • The rich courts and civic governments of the
    Renaissance supported music to a degree not
    previously seen.
  • This level of musical support was also provided
    by the religious institutions of the day.

19
Increased Interest in Humanist Learning
  • The arts became an important measure of learning
    and culture.
  • Music moved from the science of number to an
    expressive art.
  • The rise and rapid spread of music printing
    increased access to music and books about music.

MUSICAL STYLE
MUSICAL STYLE
The composers of the Renaissance concerned
themselves with three different areas of music
  • Sacred music Composers continued to work with
    the older forms such as the motet and Mass. It is
    in this music that we find the clearest
    international style.
  • Secular music Composers created new forms that
    reflected national trends, such as the Italian
    madrigal and the French chanson.
  • Instrumental music The rise of music printing
    encouraged the spread of instrumental music for
    amateurs, and more specific types emerged.

22
MUSICAL STYLE
MUSICAL STYLE
All three types of music share many musical
features
  • The use of four-voice choirs or groups of
    like-sounding instruments (consorts)
  • Imitative or homorhythmic textures (often
    alternating within a single piece).
  • Smooth, gentle rhythms.
  • Melodies with balanced phrases.
  • Harmonies that use full triads.
  • Vocal forms tied to structure of texts. Dances
    based on simple binary forms.

23
What is Polyphony?
  • 2 or more melodic lines
  • Difference between polyphony, monophony, and
    homophony
  • What was Melismatic Organum?
