Summary
This module aims to develop the listening abilities and critical thinking skills of the learners through
various activities which aid in achieving the competency of the week which is to explain the
performance practice (setting, composition, role of composers/performers and audience) during the
Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque periods.
Medieval period emphasized on Church or Sacred music where the priest and the congregation
were only allowed to sing during masses. Sung prayers were often unaccompanied and women
were not allowed to perform in the church. This period elevated unison singing but later emerged a
group of singers called the Choir, composed solely of men and boys who assumed the musical role
of answering and contrasting the solo singing of the priest.
Although sacred music was still relevant during the Renaissance period, secular music was more
prominent during the period. Printed descriptions of instrument and their discussions on tuning and
technique supplied the needs of both professional and non-professional musicians. Secular music
absorbed techniques from sacred music and vice versa, while instrumental, vocal and combined
performance both on Sacred and Secular music.
Baroque period let the composers experiment with finding a fuller sound with the composition of
Orchestra and common tonality (Harmony, Rhythm, Duration, etc.)

Summary
This module aims to develop the critical thinking skills and analysing abilities of the learners
through various activities which aid in achieving the competency of the week which is to identify
the representative artworks and artist from various art periods.
Western classical arts were classified into three timelines; Ancient Arts which includes Pre-
Historic and Egyptian Eras, Classical Arts through Greek and Roman Eras and Medieval Arts
which was represented by Byzantine, Romanesque and Gothic Eras.
Most of the artworks of the pre-historic eras remained as discovered archaeological
artefacts and were not easy to understand. Archaeologists believed that these artworks of the
primitive people were their way of expressing their experiences in their daily life and as a way of
communicating with each other. Egyptian art are a combination geometric regularity and keen
observation of nature and were created for the gods, priests and kings found in tombs, temples,
paintings and statues.
Greek art style was a taste of Western realism or naturalism. Artists have studied accurate
anatomy, physics and optics and techniques in carving, painting, building, gold-working and
ceramics. Roman artists tried to reproduce realistic artworks with architecture designed to reflect
the power of the city with local traditions to form their own styles and traditions.
Byzantine art was the meeting place for the Greek and oriental culture with emphasis on
Christian subjects. Romanesque style evolved in the first third of the 12 th century and is a
complete realization of religious and social functions with architectural program greatly influenced
by Byzantine art with a highly innovative and coherent style. Gothic art styles reinforce symbolic
meanings with church symbolizes the transcendence of the soul and the underlying philosophy
which is to create buildings of height and light.
