History of music - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article (5304 words) |
 | In European musical history, the era of ancient music began around 1500 BCE, ended with the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 CE, and was followed by the Early music era. |
| France developed a unique style of musical diction known as musique mesurée, used in secular chansons, with composers such as Guillaume Costeley and Claude Le Jeune prominent in the movement. |
| One of the most revolutionary movements in the era took place in Florence in the 1570s and 1580s, with the work of the Florentine Camerata, who ironically had a reactionary intent: dissatisfied with what they saw as contemporary musical depravities, their goal was to restore the music of the ancient Greeks. |
