谈西方中世纪教会与音乐的关系

On the Relationship Between Churches And Music in the Middle Ages in the West

在近一千年的西方中世纪历史里,教会虽然使音乐的发展呈现单一性,但像格里高利圣咏、复调音乐、记谱法、管风琴等一系列重要的音乐现象,都是教会统治的中世纪的文化成果,这在西方音乐发展史上占有重要的地位。

In the Middle Ages of almost 1000 years, although churches developed music in a mono - fashion, yet some important music phenomena like Gregorie Chant, Polyphony, Notation and Organ are all the cultural results of the church - ruled Middle Ages, which really plays a very important role in the development of the Western Music.
