Description: This program looks at the human voice and the ways man has used it, often through religion, from the plain chant and single voice to the blending of several voices in harmony. The important development of a reliable system of musical notation is also documented. Covers the Middle Ages to the Renaissance when the rise of musical instruments began to challenge the dominance of the human voice.
