Description
Entitled "Concentum inter se, et discrimina grata sonorum aure erudita deprehendit musica". Print created by Cornelis Cort, 1565, showing a woman wearing classical robes and a leafy headdress, who is seated and playing a harpsichord. Around her five people are gathered; three singers reading from tablets and two lute players. Hanging on the wall behind them and scattered on the floor in front are various wind and string instruments including a recorder, a hurdy-gurdy, a harp, a bagpipe and a sackbut. A book of music is underneath the pile of instruments. A swan is standing on the ground and a small bird is perched on the edge of the harpsichord. Music is an art form whose medium is sound. Its common elements are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture.
