Medieval Music
Modern music of the western world has its roots in medieval music. It may seem illogical, but it is actually quite true. Some music in America even has routes from medieval times in the western world. Modes, notation, polyphony music, and other musical ideas of this sort date back to these times. Also, ideas of polyphony music from the Middle Ages are the foundation in much of western music. However, “the medieval musical experience is impossible to recapture, for most of the music of daily life is lost” (Cyrus 1). But still, one can see how important this time in musical growth was, because their ideas have survived for us to use.Firstly, troubadours and trouvères are a topic worth knowing about. They were typical medieval people. In the medieval world, the troubadours and trouvères traveled around singing to praise noble women and the knights who loved them. But there was a difference between a troubadour and trouvère. Troubadours were the poets who were associated with Provencal, the language of Provence France. A trouvère was a poet who spoke a variation of the French language. As said, these poets admired women. The most admired women of the times lived from 1122 to 1204. Her name was Eleanor of Aquitaine. “
