The Middle Ages was a great time for cultural and musical upgrades. They showed us improvements in the way we write down music. Also they showed us new ways of singing music. Even though this may sound good, they experienced a very dark time. Hence the name “The Dark Ages.” The Black Death was a bubonic plague that wiped out one third of their population. They had popes like Pope Gregory I. He was the one who wrote down music so that it could be sung the same in every church. He created this and called it Gregorian chant. Hildegard de Bingen was a very important person during the time period too.
The Renaissance showed even more improvement than the Middle Ages. The Renaissance
