Middle Ages
During the latter part of the middle ages
classical music likely made its debut in Paris. While previous
music was unaccompanied, the implementation of the melodic echoes
of music with more than one melody line became very popular and was
even considered desirable.
The most popular composers during this era were Leoninus and Perotinus. Leoninus was born in Paris in the year 1135. His date of death is thought to be around the year 1201. Leoninus was taught at Notre Dame and later in life became a priest. Perotinus was born in approximately 1160 and his date of death is unrecorded. Perotinus studied under Leoninus and added his own styling to the works of Leoninus.
The two worked together and are accredited with the birth of classical music. While Leoninus is attributed to adding a second line to the previous single melodic line music, Perotinus added a third and even fourth vocal line to the music. This increased the soothing sound and produced a crisp melody.
It is believed that Leoninus composed the first works using Browsergames the chants used in the Roman each in the era. This is referred to as the Gregorian chant. The Gregorian chant is thought to be an early version of today’s hymnals that are sung regularly at churches across the world.
These two men are attributed with creating the first classical music in the world. Since the Middle Ages, music has evolved in such a marvelous manner. Today’s classical music is composed of numerous melodic lines.
