REVIEW • Burgundian School • Guillaume Dufay (1397-1474) • Franco-Flemish School • Josquin des Prez (1451-1521) • Roman School • Sacred vs. Secular • Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (1525-1594)
Venetian School (1550-1610) • Transitional from Renaissance – Baroque • Imitative polyphony evolved to the next level: • Antiphony (Antiphonal) • Almost as distinct as “Call and Response” • Elaborate churchescontributed to style and sound! • Opposing choir lofts!
Giovanni Gabrieli(1554-1612) • Represented the culmination of Venetian School style • Helped transition to Baroque • Known for both choral and instrumentalmusic • Heavy use of antiphony • Revolutionary use of dynamics
