4 TERM Venues for Music The Middle Ages There have always been venues for music. The Romans built amphitheatres outdoors, with the seats in a semicircle in front of the stage. The acoustics were so good that we still use them nowadays. During the Middle Ages, monks sang Gregorian chant in cathedrals, a type of religious music performed a cappella in Latin. In village squares and cities, jongleurs set up small portable stages where they performed their productions. The Roman Empire The Present Age The Modern Era During the Modern Era, the royalty and nobility loved to organise concerts and dances in the chambers of their palaces. They also began to stage operas in theatres with a big stage and a separate orchestra pit. Nowadays, we still use venues from the past, but we don t only listen to music in concert halls. Contemporary music uses electronic equipment to amplify sound, so that it can be played on big stages to thousands of people. 6.2 Listen and read about venues for music throughout history.

Pictures 2 and (the Middle Ages): What did monks sing during the Middle Ages?; What is the meaning of a cappella? (if the students do not know the answer, demonstrate it vocally); Where did jongleurs sing and play? Pictures 4 and 5 (the Modern Era): Where did the royalty and nobility organise concerts and dances?; When did this happen?; Where did operas take place?; Where was the orchestra? Pictures 6 and 7 (the Present Age): Where do we listen to music nowadays?; What type of instruments does contemporary music use?
