Middle Age Music Composers

The era of middle age music composers started during the fall of the Roman Empire. Then around the fifteenth century is when middle age music came to an end. When the middle age music era ended next came the beginning of the Renaissance. When it came to middle age music there were many different ones. Middle age music composers came in all shapes, sizes, ethnicity's and ages.


You had middle age music composers who would chant. Chanting was sacred to them back then and it represented the earliest known music to come about in the Christian Church. You also had the Jewish Synagogue who would sing psalms and this was a strong influence when it came to Christian chanting. A famous middle age music composer was named Hildegard Von Bingen. She was also known as Hildegard of Bingen. Hildegard von Bingen was born on September 16, 1098 and died on September 17, 1179. Hildegard was a German abbess, author, and a monastic leader.

From the time Hildegard was young she said that she had certain visions. Five years after she was elected to be Mother Superior she got a call from God. She stated that God told her to write what you see. In the beginning she was a bit hesitant of writing the visions she was having so she held them inside. She began to get a lot of fame in the 1140's after she started writing about her visions and they spread around. When Pope Eugenius heard about her visions he sent out a commission and they declared that Hildegard was a genuine mystic and she was not going insane.


You should know that there were many other middle age music composers that were a lot like Hildegard. It seemed that many individuals back then liked to join in and sing middle age music. You should know that not everyone who tried to become famous music composers succeeded. For those individuals who succeeded really tried hard. Do you realize that music has been around for a very long time? There is no doubt music has been apart of the world hundreds of years before the middle ages even came about. If you look at the Egyptian hieroglyphs you will see proof because they created musical instruments.
