Describe how the Kyrie from Messe de Nostre Dame exemplifies the style of medieval music using appropriate ideas

from the Checklist of Musical Style: Middle Ages located at the conclusion of the chapter. Discuss at least three traits
from the following: melody, harmony, rhythm, color, texture, and form.

What will be an ideal response?

ANSWER: melody in each voice typically moves within a narrow range; harmony has dissonant phrases ending with
open, hollow-sounding chords; composed in triple meter and uses repeating rhythmic patterns; depending
upon the recording the choir may be a cappella or accompanied by instruments; four-part independent
contrapuntal lines (chant in the tenor)
