4 4 Medieval and Renaissance Notation Music notation in the Middle Ages developed during the reign of the Emperor Charlemagne ( A.D.). The earliest notation consisted of simple lines that often appear to our eyes as squiggles. This form of notation is called neumatic and as most often used to notate Gregorian chant. Here is an example of early notation from the Middle Ages. This is a faithful reproduction of an original to-dimensional ork of art.

5 5 As music gre complex, so did the methods of notating it. The first change to neumatic notation as the introduction of a single straight line that as a reference point for a single pitch. Over many decades, the single line evolved to a four-line, and eventually, to a five-line staff. This style of notation as called mensural notation because it represented the lengths of the notes (or their measurement ). Here is an example of mensural notation from the Renaissance period. This is a faithful reproduction of an original to-dimensional ork of art. The ork of art itself is in the public domain because its copyright has expired.
