Experiences So it is, the melodic sequences of the Renaissance's genre ** were following the ears of the listeners that have chosen the Third Program of the Greek Radio in that Sunday morning. The formidable calm of that music, its "universal" and "spiritual" character, the fact that is based on absolutely natural musical principles, *** - that is, in essence, it is near to if not even inside the nature itself! - the simple and even-tempered intervals, the delicate and enjoyable melodic movements, the careful leaps of the melody according to the "natural aesthetic rules", the careful and tight concepts for using harmony and counterpoint as well as the whole easy-to-understand form of the music score, all these facts are stilling the spirit and putting it into a pleasant contemplation. The choice of Sunday morning for such kind of melodies are yet another correct selection made by the Third Program ...  ** The music of the Renaissance is referring to the 14th, 15th and even 16th century and is characterized by continuous progress in the use of the clear polyphony at first and of the homophony later, which slowly but surely will eventuate in the art of the baroc during the early 17th century. *** Here we are talking about the fact that all rules governing the layout of simultaneous notes are based on the theory of natural harmonics, so that the result is remarkably well-sounding and without any "friction" - see also the "strict contrapuntal style" of the Renaissance. |
