Who was the greatest master of Roman Catholic Church music?
Why was Palestrina not hired after 1554?
Describe the style of Palestrina’s music.
How many works of music did Palestrina create?
Why did the religious leaders feel that Palestrina’s music interfered with religious texts?

17. Giovanni Palestrina
Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina ( ) was an Italian composer of Renaissance music. He was the most famous sixteenth-century representative of the Roman School of musical composition.
Palestrina had a vast influence on the development of Roman Catholic church music, and his work can be seen as a summation of Renaissance polyphony.

18. Palestrina: Celebrity of the 1500s
Palestrina left hundreds of compositions, including 104 masses, 68 offertories, more than 300 motets, at least 72 hymns, 35 magnificats, 11 litanies, 4 or 5 sets of lamentations etc., at least 140 madrigals and 9 organ ricercari (however, recent scholarship has classed these ricercari as of doubtful authorship; Palestrina probably wrote no purely instrumental music).
Palestrina was immensely famous in his day, and his reputation, if anything, increased following his death. Conservative music of the Roman School continued to be written in his style (known as the "prima pratica" in the seventeenth century).

20. WAIT! Counter what?
The Protestant Reformation was a reform movement in Europe that began in 1517, though its roots lie further back in time. It began with Martin Luther and may be considered to have ended with the Peace of Westphalia in 1648.[1] The movement began as an attempt to reform the Catholic Church. Many western Catholics were troubled by what they saw as false doctrines and malpractices within the Church, particularly involving the teaching and sale of indulgences. Another major contention was the practice of buying and selling church positions (simony) and what was seen at the time as considerable corruption within the Church's hierarchy. This corruption was seen by many at the time as systemic, even reaching the position of the Pope.
Counter Reformation, 16th-century reformation that arose largely in answer to the Protestant Reformation; sometimes called the Catholic Reformation. Although the Roman Catholic reformers shared the Protestants' revulsion at the corrupt conditions in the church, there was present none of the tradition breaking that characterized Protestantism. The Counter Reformation was led by conservative forces whose aim was both to reform the church and to secure the its traditions against the innovations of Protestant theology and against the more liberalizing effects of the Renaissance.

30. Ballet first developed in Europe in the Renaissance period.
-In Italy and France, dancing masters taught royalty and
choreographed entertainments for the courts
-Italian intermezzi (late 1400s) were interludes between
acts of plays (operas) that combined dance, music, and drama
-In the 1500 & 1600s, dancing masters began recording
their choreography.
Catherine de Medici was a great patron of
the arts, and commissioned many dance
Works, including Ballet Comique de la
Reine, a six-hour dance/drama involving
both the Greek gods and the Queen of
France!

31. Renaissance Dance Renaissance court spectacles were often ornate
They emphasized geometrical patterns
They used steps that were taken from the popular ballroom dances of the day, including the pavane galliard, volta, and others
Women and men did these dances together in the ballroom, but onstage, the women’s parts were danced by men
Steps became increasingly complex, and dancing masters asked their pupils to practice them holding onto the backs of chairs for balance; this is how the ballet barre developed
Dancing became stylish at all Renaissance courts in Europe, including those of Queen Elizabeth I and Henry VIII

32. Thoinot Arbeau, a French canon in the Roman Catholic church, wrote one of the first dance books, Orchesography, in It was a collection of the standard social dances of the time, and included correct social behavior and positions of the feet.
Clothing was bulky and tight in the torso, restricting movement mostly to the feet.
