Medieval instruments• Medieval instruments were fairly basic• Church allowed instruments circa
1100AD• Here are some examples:
The Lute - Early lutes were made of wood, bone, ivory and exotic woods. They were stringed instruments similar to a guitar.
The Hand Drum - A hand drum was a versatile instrument. It was used by the Irish and the Scots, and a form of it was used by most cultures at one time or another.

More Medieval instrumentsThe viol - This instrument was played with a bow, usually held on the lap or between the legs. The French name for it is viola da gamba, which means leg viol. It was similar to a modern day cello, as it tone was quiet and sort of nasal in quality.
The Gemshorn- The gemshorn was a medieval flute made from the horn of an ox or a chamois. By that time, bisons no longer existed in Europe . It sounded much like a recorder, and it was probably used by shepherds to soothe animals.

Early Polyphony• Polyphonic means more than one pitch played at the same time - what we typically call harmony.
• The first type of polyphony was called parallel organum. Here the cantus firmus and the higher harmony mirrored each other.
• Eventually composers like Leonin and his student Perotin began adding a third and fourth part above the cantus firmus, and moved away from the eerie sounding parallel organum.
