Question

True or False? Early Renaissance music was much more complex, more fragmented, and more dissonant than that of the Middle Ages

Answer 1

you specified early renaissance so it is cool cause it will not need the whole details of the renaissance period

so what we got in the early renaissance?composers line dunstable,dufay,binchois,ockeghem,obrecht and des prez

A)THE ENGLISH INFLUENCE
those composers are in the majority of them from the Franco-Flemish school.
the 15th century (early renaissance century) we have 2 main components in music
the Italian and the French style but with a big influence of the English style(thats because after the battle of Azencour the 1415 English were governing much of the France.So the English give their complex isorhythm and their extreme syncopation,resulting in a more flowing style.the ENglish music used much of the intervals of thirds and sixths compared to other styles before.this technique was named <Fauxbourdon>

B)BURGUNDIAN MUSIC
The middle of the Early Renaissance period(around 1450) some regions of the France and Netherlands took in many italian,french and english elements.The ''music language'' there had taken from the French a rythmic vitality,from the Italy the sweet melodies of the madrigals, and the (thirds and sixths dependent more dissonant) harmonies from England.More voices were used at the Motets,from 4 to more.Many more combinations of intervals and more dissonances (even though under control).That went for a more national style.
