Humanities Homework Help. Music Theory and Seven Periods of Music History Discussion
FOR YOUR FINAL PAPER, I’D LIKE YOU TO SEND ME, IN AN EMAIL, THE FOLLOWING:
for each of the 7 periods of music history we’ve covered, i’d like you to do the following:
look at all the musical elements which are characteristics found in the music from each one of the 7 periods. (middle age，renaissance music，baroque music，classical music，romantic period，early 20th century，late 20th century)
find an example of music NOT FROM THE TEXTBOOK NOT FROM MUSIC PLAYED IN CLASS and place that musical example in the email you’ll send me, followed by at least two of the musical elements you find to be similar to the music from that period, so, e.g.:
1 – MIDDLE AGES [then you look at all the characteristics of music from this period]
you look for a good example to which has some those musical elements, and you put the link into your email:
then you tell me what are the elements which compare to music from the MIDDLE AGES:
this piece is similar to music from the middle ages, it has the polyphonic texture (2 or more melodies happening at once) – one melody in long held tones, another melody moving more quickly, also it has monophony (unified melody) it is only sung by male voices, it has no clear tempo. all these elements place this music in the middle ages.
2 – RENAISSANCE – etc.
you continue on to the other 6 periods and do the same for each one.
Here are some resources you can look at, do not just paraphrase things from the website.
