Early Music (1 janv. 500 – 1 janv. 1600)

Description:

Early music refers to musical compositions from the medieval and Renaissance periods of music. Much of the music from earliest history was sacred music written for voice and was transmitted orally. It wasn't until the dawn of the Renaissance that we see more frequent use of instruments and developments in printing.
Today, early music ensembles often attempt to remain faithful to how music was written during the medieval and Renaissance eras by using period instruments and performance practice.
