What I Need to Know
This module is designed and written to help you learn the Music from the
Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque Period.
This module is divided into three topics: The Medieval, Renaissance, and
Baroque period. The first topic is the music in the Medieval Period and it is
called the Gregorian chant or plain chant which is mainly written in Latin
and occasionally in Greek and that is both considered as sacred or secular
music which is mainly used in early Christian Church. The second one is
the Renaissance period which dominated by the members of the upper
class. Its music is based on modes (similarly how we use keys now), it has
richer texture, and uses harmony (contrary to the music of Gregorian
chant). The third one is the Baroque period which has a more elaborated
music. Its music has only one mood throughout the entire piece, it uses
Basso Continuo or Figured Bass, and Modes were replaced by the Major or
Minor Key system.
In this module, you will learn the first part of the Western Music History
which also deals with the historical and cultural background of the
Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque period.

Lesson Musical Elements of Selected Vocal
Singing has been a natural outlet for the expression of Christianity, culture,
traditions, and feelings since the beginning of human existence. Once
singing is combined with language, it would become a powerful means of
communicating or expressing one’s self. In fact, singing alone dominated the
first two parts of Western Music History and that was Middle ages or
Medieval period followed by early Renaissance period; however, during the
Baroque period, the Italian musicians knew that they were inventing new
ways of music.
What’s In
This module will help you learn and listen perceptively to select vocal and
instrumental music of Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque Periods,
