	READING: THE HUMAN VOICE AND NON-ACOUSTICAL INSTRUMENTS	Position of the larynx for various vowel sounds Author: User “Bad seed”/Source: Wikimedia Commons/ License: CC BY-SA 4.0 The human voice is the most intimate of all the music instruments in that it is the one that most of us are innately equipped. We breathe in, and, as we exhale, air rushes over the vocal cords causing them to vibrate. Depending on the length of the vocal cords, they will tend to vibrate more slowly or more quickly, creating pitches of lower or higher frequencies. A trained opera singer might have a range of three to four octaves, whereas the average person has a range of a little over an octave.

Section 3: History of Music	Chapter 13: Music in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance
	POWER POINT & VIDEO: MUSIC OF THE MEDIEVAL PERIOD	During the Middle Ages, as during other periods of Western history, sacred and secular worlds were both separate and integrated. However, during this time, the Catholic Church was the most widespread and influential institution and leader in all things sacred. The Catholic Church’s head, the Pope, maintained political and spiritual power and influence among the noble classes and their geographic territories; the life of a high church official was not completely different from that of a noble counterpart, and many younger sons and daughters of the aristocracy found vocations in the church. Towns large and small had churches, spaces open to all: commoners, clergy, and nobles.
