Medieval, Renaissance Test notes (9/09 update)

Know which major composers goes with which era (hint: they have major sections in the text)

Look at the overview section -
what was the overall place of music in society?
What the role of "The Church"?
What are the overall characteristics of music from this era?

Major piece types of each era, and definitions (ex. Renaissance - Madrigal, Motet, Mass)
Section headings will help here as well.

Again, anything bold face would be good to pay attention to.

Overall, I'm more interested in the music rather than the life of the composer, so you won't get questions like "When did Josquin Des Prez work at the Vatican?"
