Part 2/7:
During the medieval era, visual arts were characterized by a boxy and exact style, often centered around religious themes. A prime example can be found in artwork like The Last Supper, which depicts Jesus and His disciples in a sacred narrative. This connection between music and religious art exemplifies the intertwined nature of these cultural forms during medieval times.
Types of Medieval Music
Medieval music can be broadly categorized into three distinct types:
Sacred Music: This encompasses all music associated with the church, primarily the Catholic Church, which dominated religious life during this period.
Secular Music: This genre includes music created for entertainment, devoid of religious context.
