3º E.S.O. MUSIC
Introduction
The history of western art music began in the ancient Greek civilization. They understood music as an art of divine origins and gave it a great teaching value in the education of Young people.
The Middle Ages, which lasted from the Decline of the Roman Empire in the 5th century (476 A.D.) until the 15th century (1492), gathered all the knowledge from Antiquity.
During all these centuries, music EDUCATION, like the rest of arts, was in the hands of the Church, although there was profane music (part 2).
Around monasteries and cathedrals appeared a wide repertoire of religious music, the first attempts of musical notation, and the technical breakthroughs that ended up in the birth of polyphony.
Secular music was developed at the same time as religious music under the protection of great feudal lords.
