Compose a well-written historical post, biographical study, or embed a well edited short film on any topic of your choosing within the theme of Western music, focusing on the following general time period:
- The High Middle Ages
- “Medieval” Era, the era of the clergy
You may document a specific topic area covered in class, or you can do your research on a musical tradition not mentioned within the purview of this course. The idea behind the RBP is that students will spend time researching, engaging, and delving into topics in greater individual detail, using their own creative analysis and relevant historical precedent to present a topic that can be communicated in an interesting and concise format.
The format and structure of each RBP must be framed after a well composed Internet article. The content of the post should be well researched, well organized, well told, and substantially framed. Each post should be 750 words; it should contain sources and embedded media that helps frame the narrative. If the post is a "vlog" post, the video should be uploaded by the student to YouTube and embedded in their RBP reply after an introductory sentence or two. Video posts should be no fewer than 5 minutes and no more than 10 minutes in length, they should contain closing source credits, and demonstrate the student's developing skill in video editing in order to be assessed.
Use sources and indexes in our library, campus database, and on the Internet (such as Google scholar, Grove music online, RILM, JSTOR, and so on) to research topics and prepare your synopsis and post. Include sources (such as quotes and links to source material) or you will receive no credit for your post.
Nota Bene: It is a good practice (especially if you have a variable Internet connection) to compose your Canvas assignments in Google Drive or other similar office software while you are developing your assignment. When you are satisfied that your assignment is ready to be posted, copy and paste your text into Canvas at that time. This will ensure that you do not work in canvas and inadvertently lose your work.

The Nature of Western Music during the Medieval Era
Sacred music and secular music are the two main types of music that existed during the
medieval era of western music. The medieval music emerged following the decline of the Roman
Empire during the 5th century. The particular music was influenced by Arabian love music, and
it was characterized by romance. Observably, the texture of the music during the medieval period
was monophonic. The church and religious aspects significantly impacted the nature of music
during the medieval period. Essential to ascertain is that the music during the era was vocal and
its rhythm was not annotated. Variation of tones and creation of harmony were not emphasized
in presenting songs and music (Oswell, 2011). The medieval music primarily entailed the use of
instruments accompanied by vocals. The church served as a significant influencer of ...
