for me, music is a transcendent and multifaceted art form

that speaks directly to the soul. It is a universal language that
transcends cultural and linguistic barriers, touching the
deepest corners of human emotion. music is not merely a
sequence of notes or rhythms; it is a powerful conduit for
human expression and connection.
At its gist, sounds that are pleasant, harmonized is a proof of
human creativity, an art at which excitements, news, and
plans are finished accompanying sound. It can induce an off-
course range of feelings – from pleasure and rapture to
unhappiness and introspection. It may be a beginning of solace
all the while opportunities of sorrow or an incentive for festival
in importance of triumph.
Art and music are basic human functions. Humankind and art cannot
function without one another. We have the burning desire to create,
whatever it may be and however tiny or grand. The interaction with
sound is unavoidable, either to make it or take pleasure in it. People
have always found music significant in their lives, whether for
enjoyment in listening, the emotional response, performing, or
creating. This is no different for classical music or contemporary
concert music. Both music’s have immense worth for our society;
however, the problem we all know in this field is that this music is
little known and hence underappreciated. As a musician and artist, it
is my responsibility that others can learn to enjoy the art for which I
have utter passion.

Music is a time appliance, fit moving us to various eras and

places, stimulating thoughts and remorse with the absolute
tweak of an arched or the beat of a beat. It is a form of self-
verbalization, admitting instrumentalists to convey their
inmost ideas and impressions to a hearing, constructing a
deep sense of connection.
In essence, music is a mirror reflecting the complexities of the
human experience. It has the power to inspire, heal, and unite,
making it an indispensable part of our lives and a testament to
the boundless creativity of the human spirit.
One of the great things about music in general, and concert music, is
that playing it opens a whole new world of experience that further
enhances the mind, physical coordination, and expression. Music
lovers, who are also amateur performers, may choose to play in
community ensembles (orchestra, band, choir), take lessons, perform
with others, compose, and nearly anything else a professional
musician may do, while maintaining their regular lives. All of this
involves intense physical coordination in performing an instrument
alone or with others, while reading musical notation, and adding
delicate or strong nuanced changes to the music that only a performer
can bring. In general, to an amateur musician, music can provide an
escape from everyday life or an alternative means of expressing one's
own capabilities. It is an important part of their lives and fills a need or
an urge to create music.

Assignment:
Create a timeline showing the history of music.
Throughout the Middle Ages, music was largely related to the church. Even
knights accumulated their reputation through music in addition to their
status as warriors. The big 2 genres in middle age music are Chant and
Organum. The music in this Era was largely played in churches.
Gregorian Chant
The official musical style of the Roman Catholic Church for over a
thousand years. These chants are monophonic, performed in Latin, and
are designed to be sung either alone or in a group where everybody
sings the same melody with no accompaniment. These are known to
be calm, relaxed, do not have an identifiable meter.
Organum
Developed between 700-900, this chant is like Gregorian, however, the

melody is polyphonic; meaning that there are multiple melodies being
sung at the same time. Paris became the center for this genre of
music.
In the year 1150, composers began to develop a musical written

language in which they would measure rhythms, note definite time
values, pitch values, and meter.
The renaissance period was from 1450-1600 in which the printing

press forever changed the accessibility of music education. More
composers were budding and more songs were being written than ever
before that period - a trend which has not stopped since the invention.
Vocal music remained the most important part of music from this era.
The music was still calm, not portraying any extremes in dynamics,
rhythm and tone.
Sacred Music
Mass - a polyphonic choral composition made up of 5 distinct sections.
Motet - a [primarily] polyphonic choral composition, in the sacred Latin

language, that is not mass (i.e. does not have 5 sections).
Common Attributes of Renaissance Music

Word painting - using the words sung to create an image for the
audience.
Round - having the melody repeated in different vocal tones, in turns.

This would create the sensation of the music feeling more wholesome.
A Capella - singing without any instrumental accompaniment. This
remained prominent because, during the renaissance, vocal pitches
were expanded in range.
Secular Music
Madrigal - monophonic or polyphonic composition that accommodates
for various solo vocalists. Normally about love or nature. As you would
imagine, there is generous use of word painting in madrigals. This
kind of music was more suitable to play in different location but there
was always a specific occasion for it - unlike spontaneous concerts
we see every day.
Instrumental Music
While vocal music was still the most prominent, the accessibility of
music education for nobles caused an instrumental music to grow in
popularity. Harps, organs, and lutes were popular instruments used by
solo artists. During the 1500's composers even began to create pieces
intended only for instruments. Much of this music was used for dance!
Music Pieces from this Period

(popular secular form of music during the renaissance,
polyphonic texture, uses word painting to describe the scene, is

England.
Baroque: 1600-1750

 Instrumental music became just as important as vocal music.
 Music was composed to express certain moods.
 Melodies were being reused throughout a piece, sometimes with
variations.
 Dynamics of music grew - music would gradually get louder or
softer by design.
 Chords became an important aspect of harmony giving a strong
foundation to music by using bass lines.
 Operas were played in large concert auditoriums (indoors), other
music was still played in church, and big events for wealthy
people.

Create a timeline showing the history of music.
4000 BC - C 500
Prehistoric period
Prehistoric music (previously primitive music) is a term in the history of music for all music
produced in preliterate cultures (prehistory), beginning somewhere in very late geological
history. Prehistoric music is followed by ancient music in different parts of the world, but
still exists in isolated areas.
500 - 1400
Medieval music
The first composers probably did not consider themselves composers as we think of them
today. They composed as a way of glorifying God, often in the context of monasteries, such as
that at Cluny in the eleventh century.
1400 - 1600
Renaissance music
With the Renaissance came a shift in music's centre of gravity in Europe. The great new bastions of culture were not the monasteries of
northern France but rather the city states of Italy. Music now depended on the patronage of various dukes and princes.
1600 - 1750
Baroque Era
With opera — perhaps the single most important development of the Baroque period -
secular music finally acquired a form that was sufficiently popular, expressive, and
large-scale to tip the balance of patronage away from the church to the princely courts,
and eventually to the public.
1750 - 1820
Classical Era
The Classical period in Western music occurred from about 1750 to 1825, despite considerable
overlap at both ends with preceding and following periods, as is true for all musical eras.
Although the term classical music is used as a blanket term meaning all kinds of music in this
tradition, it can also occasionally mean this era within that tradition.
1810 - 1910
Romantic Era
In the Romantic period, music became more expressive and emotional, expanding to
encompass literature, art, and philosophy. Famous early Romantic composers include Schumann,
Chopin, Mendelssohn, Bellini, and Berlioz.
1900 - 2000
Modern Period
The 20th Century saw a revolution in music listening as the radio gained popularity worldwide
and new media and technologies were developed to record, capture, reproduce and distribute
music.
