The Renaissance: Art, Architecture, and Humanism

Classified in Music

Written at on English with a size of 2.5 KB.

The Humanist spirit created a new artistic style, the Renaissance. This style originated in the small Italian states.

Artists could dedicate themselves to creation because they were maintained by patrons, who paid them for the work. Patrons included the Medici, Sforza, and Popes.

This artistic style was called Renaissance because there was a revival of Classical Greek and Roman culture. Two reasons:

  • The arrival in Italy of Greek scholars, who had left Constantinople.
  • The abundance of Roman remains on the Italian Peninsula and the discovery of new archaeological remains.

Phases of the Renaissance:

Trecento (14th century): The early features of the Renaissance appear. The first artist was Giotto.

Quattrocento (15th century): New Renaissance innovations

Renaissance: Rebirth of Classics and Music Theory

Classified in Music

Written at on English with a size of 2.68 KB.

Renaissance

The foremost characteristic of the Renaissance is the rebirth of the classics (Greece and Rome).

If during the Middle Ages God was at the center of everything, now it is the contrary. Humans are at the center of everything (anthropocentrism).

All artistic expressions found inspiration in old Rome. The only exception was music, which had to find its own style far from medieval music.

Melody

  • It refers to the way notes are written horizontally on the score, how they are performed one after the other.

Harmony

  • It refers to the way notes
