Question

At the start of the Renaissance, composers wrote polyphonic music but began to emphasize the equal balance of the voices. What type of musical piece MOST likely resulted from this new style? A. chant B. antiphon C. canon D. lyric poem

Answer 1

Answer:

C. canon

Explanation:

The canon emerged in the 14th century and was the result of the creation of polyphonic music, which, as stated in the question above, is a type of music that seeks balance between the voices. From Canon, the compositions were made to promote various voices with different tones creating a musical harmony. As one of the great canonical composers, we can quote Guillaume de Machaut.
