Question

REFLECTION

Most of us might be more comfortable today with the music of the 18th, 19th, 20th centuries than with the music of the medieval and Renaissance periods. Can you cite some reasons why this is so?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The tradition of sung prayers and psalms extends into the shadows of early civilization. Such sacred singing was often accompanied by instruments, and its rhythmic character was marked. In the synagogue, however, the sung prayers were often unaccompanied. Ritual dance was excluded from the synagogue as the rhythmic character of sacred music surrendered its more sensual aspects. Even in the prayers themselves, rhythmic verse gave way to prose. The exclusion of women, the elevation of unison singing, and the exclusion of instruments served to establish a clear differentiation between musical performance in the synagogue and that of the street.
