  • "This videotape traces the development of western music in the 12th century. It begins with plainchant and Gregorian Chants, the first written music. Use of specific music for church services led to church plays, musical dramas such as "Daniel". The crusades brought about the use of music to rally people for a cause. The rise of universities saw the growth of student songs and the bawdy "Carmina Burana". Music in the castles of feudal lords included instruments and melodic embellishment. Lyrical troubadours also appeared. Finally, polyphony and rhythmic notation culminated in the Notre Dame style, which reached its peak in the works of Pérotin. His choral work is the first example of 4-part polyphony in music history."
