Introduction
Remember, during the Middle Ages,
Europeans suffered from both war and
plague. Those who survived wanted to
enjoy life. As a result, they questioned
the Church, which had taught Christians
to endure suffering to get a ‘heavenly
reward.’ Educated people began to reject
medieval values and look for a new way
of life which embraced humanism, art,
learning, and culture…

Document 7: Music in the Renaissance
Music was an essential part of social, religious, and family life in the Renaissance. The most important
music of the early Renaissance was composed for use by the church—polyphonic (made up of several
simultaneous melodies) masses and motets in Latin for important churches and court chapels. By the
end of the sixteenth century, however, music was split among many areas: the Catholic Church,
Protestant churches and courts, wealthy amateurs, and music printing—all were sources of income for
composers.
With the beginning of the sixteenth century, European music saw a number of momentous changes. In
1501, a Venetian printer named Ottaviano Petrucci published the first significant collection of
polyphonic music, the Harmonice Musices Odhecaton A. Petrucci's success led eventually to music
printing in France, Germany, England, and elsewhere. Prior to 1501, all music had to be copied by hand
or learned by ear; music books were owned exclusively by religious establishments or extremely
wealthy courts and households. After Petrucci, while these books were not inexpensive, it became
possible for far greater numbers of people to own them and to learn to read music. Sixteenth-century
humanists studied ancient Greek treatises on music that discussed the close relationship between
music and poetry and how music could stir the listener's emotions. Inspired by the classical world,
Renaissance composers fit words and music together in an increasingly dramatic fashion, as seen in the
development of the Italian madrigal and later the operatic works of Claudio Monteverdi (1567–1643).
Document 8: Music in the Middle Ages
Art and music were critical aspects of life of the Middle Ages. Singing without instrumental
accompaniment was an essential part of church services. Monks and priests chanted the divine offices
and the mass daily.
Some churches had instruments such as organs and bells. The organistrum or symphony (later known
as a hurdy gurdy) was also found in churches. Two people were required to play this stringed
instrument--one to turn the crank and the other to play the keys. All music during the Middle Ages was
created for churches and only able to be read by church goers. All ballads sung by commoners were
songs written for the church and learned by the church leader. Churches were the only place you
would find printed music since the church was the only one who could afford music books. Medieval
drama grew out of the church music, beginning in about the eleventh century. Some of the topics were
from the Old Testament (Noah and the flood, Jonah and the whale, Daniel in the lion's den) and others
were stories about the birth and death of Christ. These dramas were performed with costumes and
musical instruments and at first took place directly outside the church.

Document 11: Middle Ages- Role of Women
It should come as no surprise that women, whether they were nobles or peasants, held a difficult position
in society. They were largely confined to household tasks such as cooking, baking bread, sewing, weaving,
and spinning. However, they also hunted for food and fought in battles, learning to use weapons to defend
their homes and castles. Some medieval women held other occupations. There were women blacksmiths,
merchants, and apothecaries. Others were midwives, worked in the fields, or were engaged in creative
endeavors such as writing, playing musical instruments, dancing, and painting.
Some women were known as witches, capable of sorcery and healing. Others became nuns and devoted
their lives to God and spiritual matters. Famous women of the Middle Ages include the writer Christine de
Pisan; the abbess and musician Hildegard of Bingen; and the patron of the arts Eleanor of Aquitaine. A
French peasant's daughter, Joan of Arc, or St. Joan, heard voices telling her to protect France against the
English invasion. She dressed in armor and led her troops to victory in the early fifteenth century. "The Maid
of Orleans" as she was known, was later burned as a witch.
Document 12: Renaissance- Role of Women
During the early years of the Renaissance, women in western society were viewed very much as they had
been for hundreds of years; as inferior beings, possessions or property to be cared for and distributed
among brothers, fathers, and sons. The Catholic Church implemented strict regulations to keep women "in
their place", submissive, modest, and focused on household matters.
But as the view of society began to change, the role of women within society evolved as well. Women
began to be more outspoken, even more accepted as intellectuals, artists, and thinkers. Although it would
be a great many more years before women would begin to be viewed as equals, these women were taking
the first steps towards independence and enlightenment.
Perhaps the most notable woman of the Renaissance was Christine de Pisan, author of fifteen books,
including histories, essays, and a treatise on weaponry. Her most famous work, Book of the City of Ladies,
makes defiant arguments refuting the idea that women are inferior, citing examples of many powerful and
influential women. Outspoken, independent, and highly educated, Christine de Pisan had a subtle but
powerful influence in Western Europe, which helped pave the way for independent women to come.
