Document Summary
Week 2: study sheet: food for thought. Summarize the myth of charlemagne in relation to why this survey course begins in 900. It is through the written element of traditions that the dominance of repetition gradually gives way to that of re- presentation ritual gives way to textual coherence. A new connective structure emerges out of this, which consists not of imitation and preservation but of interpretation and memory. Charlemagne standardized the churches music so that each church had the written notation to play it in the same way as the rest, that"s why the course begins in 900 as the first written music is created. Secular music: music that is not intended for religious use. Sacred music: music written for purposes of worship, whether in a religious service or in another setting. This distinction regarding the purpose of the music is the only real difference between secular and sacred music.
