We can designate medieval music as a beginning, although a precise time is impossible because the knowledge of that time period is too vague.However, in the 1100s large volumes of written, notated polyphony and non-liturgical Latin songs began emerging before two major changes began to take place.a) The use of the interval of a third as a stable harmony. b) Humanistic orientation to text with music.These changes took several decades, putting the beginning of the Renaissance somewhere between the 1420s (harmonies of Dufay) and the 1500s (humanistic texts of...

There's another, more serious side-effect to aging in Western culture: chronic depression. Being unable to shake...
