A list of puns related to "Renaissance music"
Everyone knows the huge impact Nirvana had on the Music Industry in the 90βs. they created the trend of labels signing lesser known Punk and Grunge bands and literally changed the way teenagers were dressing. They threw the Grunge and Seattle sound into the mainstream and inspired a hell of a lot Alternative Rock music. they were huge.
Iβve heard it talked about and asked if another band could do what Nirvana did. Change the directory of the Music Industry from Pop as we know it to more emotionally raw and Rock type music. I think weβre waiting and many people are seeking that sound once again. I think itβs likely that we get a well needed change up but maybe iβm being hopeful. The true song comes from an artists vision and his interplay with a band, i believe most people are starting to get sick of the over produced, multi crew developed cash grab pop that we have in the charts today. Donβt get wrong thereβs plenty of Alt Rock, grunge-ish and Neo-Rock type bands out there but are pretty undiscovered and never too the charts so are never publicised therefore never created a trend or wave like the best bands from the 60βs up to the late 90βs did.
If anyone of you are musicians, keep doing your thing and write from the heart. personally iβve always had a burning passion to write and record and release material to express myself because iβm somewhat dysfunctional in that way lol. itβs easy to put too much pressure on yourself and care what others think to much but this hinders creative process massively, write free and stay real. I truly believe we need a new musical renaissance of Rock back into Pop
I am looking for some renaissance era pieces that would help to convey the message that modality and tonality is not mutually exclusive. Anybody have any music examples from the renaissance that display tonal characteristics as we recognize them today through the lens of functional harmony? I am interested in how the development from modality to tonality occurred. Sadly I have not found much literature on this subject. I learned that major and minor tonality became a thing in the 17th century, but surely that has to be a major oversimplification. Did renaissance composers see chords more of a mere accident by the fact that they were writing polyphonic music?
To my knowledge music theorists have always been keen on organizing music and forming different systems on which they can base their harmony. Not much different from what Rameau did in his Treatise on Harmony, what am I missing here? I does not seem to me that Palestrina was unfamiliar with the concept of a leading tone.
Any insights on this, and the difference between modal and tonal music would be greatly appreciated as I try to understand this more. If the distinction between modal and tonal music would be characteristics such as the use of leading tone and cadences like that of V-I there surely is not much to go on. To me a great deal of renaissance music sounds like a different way to write tonal music if that makes any sense (some of it absolutely do not). The use of the tonal centre is established in functional harmony through the use of cadences, but it is not like modes do not have a starting tone that composers are completely oblivious to, the music has to come to a rest at some point (?).
Let me know how wrong I am. Cheers!

Hello all!
I'm in my final teaching practicum in a highschool and one of my first lessons is with an IB grade 10/11 classroom. In this school, Music IB is a course students take in addtion to ensembles. The class runs for 35 minutes at lunch twice a week. My partner teacher would like me to structure 3-5 meaningful experiences with renaissance music for the students. I am unfamilar with teaching music history (but I did take it in my B.Mus degree) and I was wondering if you all could tell me some fun ways you've taught music history in your classroom. Thank you in advance!
Hello!
I am an elementary school teacher who introduces classical music to her students, daily. We are focusing of string instruments this trimester, especially the cello. Someone, here, suggested I introduce Renaissance instruments to my students as well, and since we are presently studying this time period, I would love to follow up on this idea.
Do you have any suggestions as to pieces we could listen to in class? or even better, videos? I am preparing materials to present Renaissance instruments, but it would be lovely to have music videos as well.
Thank you for your suggestions!
I'm looking for overlapping lyrics and rhythms that are not just additional voices to the main melody
I've stumbled upon "No God's a Man" by Gentle Giant, about 1 min into the song.
It could really be any style... indie, hip-hop, rock, Americana.... I'd just like to see how others have tackled this idea for my personal studies.
I even like this very subtle example from a synthpop song https://youtu.be/eGtqYhrVP4E?t=66
Okay so it doesn't have to be all about music, I just need the touch of those periods but I literally cannot find videos in youtube. To be specific I need are: 1.) Monks singing gregorian chants at a big church (but I don't want it to seem like a documentary, I want it to have a cinematic feel)
2.) I need a scene where I could walk around in a big castle or church. Any scene would be fine, there could be knights walking around, or monks, as long as you could see the elements of renaissance/middle age/baroque period. You know, like a castle feel? (I will green screen myself in there)
3.) Literally any video that could relate to renaissance, middle age, or baroque. Like anything. It could be churches, Europe, composers.
Thank you ππ
I was challenged by a friend to remake the song Blinding Lights in the style of the Renaissance Era, but I don't know much about it. Any suggestions?
