MEDIEVAL MUSIC
UNIT 5 DAY 1 - Medieval Monody.Medieval Music is characterized by moving from monody to polyphony.
  Although this music is usually associated only with the Gregorian chant and the music of minstrels, there are many types of medieval music.
 The medieval monody is represented by the Gregorian chant, a version of the Plainsong and the music of minstrels.
  In Spain, there is the Galaico Portugese Lyric, the Sephardi music (from the Spanish Jews) and the Moorish singing and jarchas were the Mozarabic chant practiced by Christians living in Al-Andalus and the Jarchas, the music of the Moorish minstrels.

They create polyphonic medieval music with Organum and Discantus.
This school is continued by the Ars Antiqua and a century later, in the fourteenth by the Ars Nova.

The Ars Antiqua is characterized by the creation of the Ars Nova Motet and the perfection of all medieval polyphonic music that carries the musical revival.

It was the music that was compiled to create an official canon of works that could be used in religious celebrations. They were commonly parts of the Mass, psalms and hymns.
 Pope Gregory I dictating the Gregorian Chant
It was monophonic music with religious text in Latin. His rhythm is prosodic and was composed in two styles: syllabic (each syllable corresponds to a note) or melismatic (each syllable corresponds to one or more notes).
 St. Domingo de Silos Cloister
The text created a prosodic rhythm that was followed by the music.
 Prosody. There are two interesting lectures in YouTube about the use of
Prosody in modern Songwriting and as a help for Autism integration.
 C - G / D - A / E - B / F - C / G - D / A - E / B - F  UNIT 5 DAY 4 - Musical aesthetics in the Middle Ages.Plainsong employs many effects to underscore the message of the text. As a vocal music, it took advantage of the possibilities of the choir, even being only a monophonic music.
If the word is important, the melody is lengthened and highlighted with many notes. If we talk about ascension into heaven, for example, the melody leads to the highest possible notes.
 The idea of melodic lines going to the high notes everytime there is
an important spiritual word (in orange) and the lengthened (more notes per syllable)
in important words (in red).
This music is antiphonal, with the choir divided into two or by contrasting soloist with the choir, playing a game of questions and answers also called responsory.
