It is the foundation of nearly all music, even that presently created. We are fascinated and enthralled.

Accepted paper: 27.04.2011. Published online: 10.06.2011. Abstract. This article is an analysis of the Renaissance music (mostly of choral music) highlighting the important contributions made by the representative figures of the Franco- Flemish and Italian (Roman and Venetian) schools, which imposed genres such as the madrigal, the chanson, the ballads, the rondeaux, and motets, virelais and magnificates. Keywords: Renaissance polyphony, chason, motet, missa, requiem, madrigal, song, psalm, hymn, Cantus firmus. 1. THE FRANCO-FLEMISH SCHOOL Although musicology has established a specifi c period of music history to be nam ed new art (Ars nova, XIII-XIV cen turies), I consider it would be more appropriate that Renaissance art should acquire this title - new art (or birth as stated above) since, through the synthesis realized by the m ain schools of composition and m usical performance, the Renaissance created a com pletely original m usic, inspired by the fundamentals of hum an being, fully aware of its own concerns and feelings. At the beginning of the Renaissance, the m ain centers of dissem ination of the new creative methods were to be found in Flande rs and Burgundy - Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg today. Along with a series of wa rs, in the anxious Europe, an unprecedented flowering of artistic activities took place. It was mainly in cities which, by their nature, were primarily economical centers (Amsterdam, Bruges, Brussels, Antwerp, Liege, Rotterdam) that developed an art - especially the painting belonging to masters who succeeded to let free their imagination, controlled by the m ost luxurious representations, unfolding in countless plans and which would echo in the polyphonic musical creation as well.

The Music Archives For centuries, Malta’s central position in the Mediterranean made the island a battlefield in the never- ending confrontation between Christians and Muslims and determined successive military initiatives to gain control of such a strategic outpost by European rulers, from the Norman kings of Sicily to the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, who settled there in 1530. Malta’s links with Sicily and mainland Italy grew stronger after the Great Siege of 1565 and the final defeat of the Turks, when the Knights founded the new capital, Valletta, and built their Conventual Church of St. John. While St. Paul’s Cathedral in the old capital, Mdina, kept its title and prerogatives (including the musical chapel), St. John’s was granted the status of Co-Cathedral, and the Figure 1: Portrait of Alof de Wignacourt Knights lavished artworks and embellishments on it to mwitahke his tPheag e or(c.de 16r0’7s- 16c0hur8), Mchic hreelaflnegcelto their power and prestige.

Master of Arts (History), May 2005, 232 pp., 3 tables, bibliography, 110 titles. Charles I, King of Spain, or Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, was the most powerful ruler in Europe since Charlemagne. With a Germanic background, and speaking French, Charles became King of Spain in 1516. Yet secondary sources and available sixteenth century Spanish sources such as Spanish Royal Council records, local records of Castro Urdiales in Castile, and Charles’s correspondence show that he continued the policies of his predecessors in Spain, Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile. He strove to strengthen his power and unify Spain and his empire using Castilian strength, a Castilian model of government, Roman law, religion, his strong personality, and a loyal and talented bureaucracy. Charles desired to be another Charlemagne, but with his base of power in Spain. TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES………………………………………………………………...……..iii Chapter 1.

SOUTHAMPTON STREET, STRAND 1902 ARTHUR AND MILDRED PREFACE " Music has been styled the youngest, but greatest of the Arts." My experience tells me that it is the oldest and grandest of all arts. To tell the story then, in one small volume, of a subject which dates from Creation, is no easy matter, it would seem. has been to be as concise as My plan possible ; to keep the running note of theoretical and in- strumental progress and development before the reader; also to be non-technical where plain language would answer. Mention has been made only of composers and matters, who and which have the art actually moved onwards ; and, inasmuch as one topic alone of the subject say Form or Orchestration, could not possibly be adequately treated in the space allotted for my entire story, I must be pardoned if I have seemed to slip away from important points. The difficulty has been to get away. The little volume is intended, not for erudite musicians, but for the great general reading public, who may care to know how the beautiful art of Music has around us all I grown ; and profess vi PREFACE. to have done is to show the step by step growth of the art in the various countries con- cerned with Music's foundation and development to the present day.
