Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book transports you back to the 12th to 16th centuries, a time when polyphonyâ"the harmonious combination of different musical linesâ"began to enrich sacred music. Step into the world of the old French School of composers, who played a pivotal role in this musical transformation. Led by masters like Franco of Cologne and Marchetto of Padua, these musicians developed groundbreaking grammatical rules and methods that laid the foundation for a new era in music. The author brings to light ten of the most prominent masters of the old French School and examines their groundbreaking compositions, from the Dechant to the Quadruplum. Dive into the fascinating techniques of counterpoint, canon, and double counterpoint, and discover how they shaped the evolution of polyphony. This book reveals the immense contribution of the old French School to the development of Western music.
