SECTION 4: HISTORICAL PERIODS
This final section of OnMusic Appreciation covers the main historical periods from the Medieval Period (500-1450) through the Renaissance (1450-1600), Baroque (1600-1750), Classical (1750-1825), Romantic (1820-1910), and Contemporary (1910-present) periods. Each period is connected to the next by a Listening Bridge that allows students to compare and contrast musical examples, and build on the listening skills and vocabulary acquired up to that point.
Period Maps emphasize the social, political, cultural, and geographical environment of each period presented as a preamble to the rich discussion of the music characteristics and composers of the times.
