General polyphonic developments (1 gen 1400 anni – 1 gen 1600 anni)

Descrizione:

A new counterpoint developed that promoted 3rds and 6ths while avoiding parallel 5ths and 8ths. A focus began to be given to making each part smooth and gratifying to sing. The motet was also redefined from a piece that added text to the upper discant part to almost any polyphonic composition on a latin text (usually sacred or ceremonial).
