Medieval Events This Week in Rethymno

About Medieval

Medieval music encompasses the diverse musical traditions of Europe from the fall of the Roman Empire until the dawn of the Renaissance around 1400. This era's soundscape is defined by monophonic Gregorian chants and later polyphonic developments, utilizing period-specific instruments such as the lute, recorder, hurdy-gurdy, and early pipe organs. Rhythmically, the genre ranges from the free-flowing, unmeasured cadences of sacred liturgy to the structured, repetitive triple meters found in secular folk dances like the estampie. Characterized by a mood that oscillates between somber spiritual devotion and vibrant courtly celebration, it serves as the foundational ancestor to all subsequent Western classical and liturgical musical forms.
