familiar song-melody, placed usually in the tenor

Gaffurio, was influenced by greek theorists. Gaffurio wrote treatises that were the most influential of his time, that revived greek ideas, and stimulated new thought on matters such as modes, consonance, and dissonance, etc. Swiss theorist from fourteen eighty eitght to fifteen sixtey three, in dodekachordon, added four new modes to the traditional eight, using names of greek tono, aeolian and hypoaeolian, with the final on a, and ionian and hypoionian with the final on c. He also argued that polyphonic music could be understood as modal, analyzing the mode of any piece as that suggested by the superius, and tenor. With these additions, he made the theory of the modes more consistent with the current practice of composers who frequently employed tonal centers on A and C.

Question 79

how one of the following influenced ren

Answer 79

2. How one of the following influenced the music of the Renaissance: humanism,invention of the printing press, rise of the middle class printing press encouraged amateur participation -perhaps the most direct impact of humanism on music lay in the recovery of ancient music treatises, during the fifteenth century, greeks emigrating from byzantium, and italian manuscript hunters brought the principal greek writings on music to the west, including the treatises of aristides, quintilianu, claudius ptolemy and cleonides, the eighth book of aristotle's Politics and passages on music in platos republic and laws, by the end of the fifteenth century, all of these were translated into latin. Gaffurio, was influenced by greek theorists. Gaffurio wrote treatises that were the most influential of his time, that revived greek ideas, and stimulated new thought on matters such as modes, consonance, and dissonance, etc. Swiss theorist from fourteen eighty eitght to fifteen sixtey three, in dodekachordon, added four new modes to the traditional eight, using names of greek tono, aeolian and hypoaeolian, with the final on a, and ionian and hypoionian with the final on c. He also argued that polyphonic music could be understood as modal, analyzing the mode of any piece as that suggested by the superius, and tenor. With these additions, he made the theory of the modes more consistent with the current practice of composers who frequently employed tonal centers on A and C. In using terms borrowed from ancient culture to modify his medieval heritage, Glareanus, was typical of his age.
