Step back in time to the enchanting world of Medieval Europe with Tomplay's captivating catalogue of sheet music celebrating the melodies and rhythms of the Middle Ages. This is the first official musical period in Western classical music. Much of the music during this period was vocal, partly due to the religious influence and partly because many instruments had not yet been invented. The most common musical form was the Gregorian chant. At the beginning of this period, there was no written music however around the 9th century, some form of musical notation began to evolve. Rhythmic notation, on the other hand, did not appear until the 13th century. Famous composers from this period include Hildegard von Bingen, Guido of Arezzo and Guillaume de Machaut. Medieval music, spanning roughly from the 6th to the 15th century, offers a window into a bygone era of knights, troubadours, and noble courts. Rooted in centuries-old traditions, this music reflects the diverse cultural influences of the time, from the sacred chants of the church to the lively dances of the peasantry.
