Music styles changed over time.
You have been introduced to the first five musical periods. Click the play buttons in the activity below to hear a new example of each period.
This list of hints should help you recognize the periods:
Medieval = monophonic
Renaissance = polyphonic (they sang or used older instruments)
Baroque = polyphonic (they used more modern instruments)
Classical = homophonic
Romantic = usually polyphonic and dramatic
Make your best guess what musical periods these examples are from.
(Hint: the last one is Impressionist.)
Good work! Let’s see what’s next.
