Welcome to our Italian music history course

In this course, we will explore the different stages and developments of Italian music throughout the centuries.

We will begin with the medieval period, where Italian music manifested primarily through sacred music. 

During our Italian music history course, we will explore the importance of Gregorian chant and Renaissance polyphony and how these traditions influenced European music.

Moving on to the Baroque era, where Italian music reached its peak thanks to operatic works. We will analyze the works of composers such as Monteverdi and Handel, who contributed to defining the genre of Italian opera.

Next, in the classical period, Italian music distinguished itself mainly through composers of chamber and symphonic music. We will study the works of composers like Scarlatti and Paganini and how they influenced the European musical landscape.

Continuing in our Italian music history course, we will explore the Romantic period, where Italian music reached another peak thanks to composers like Verdi and Puccini.

We will study the evolution of Italian opera during this period and how the works of these composers became cornerstones of the operatic repertoire.
