| Cantigas de Santa Maria Cantigas de Santa Maria ("Songs to the Virgin Mary") are manuscripts written in Galician-Portuguese, with music notation, during the reign of Alfonso X El Sabio (1221-1284) and are one of the largest collections of monophonic (solo) songs from the Middle Ages. All of the songs at least mention the Virgin Mary, and every 10th is a religious hymn. Some of the manuscripts containing this music also contain colored miniatures showing pairs of musicians playing a wide variety of instruments. Cantigas_de_Santa_Maria | |

| Just intonation just intonation is any musical tuning in which the frequencies of notes are related by ratios of whole numbers. Any interval tuned in this way is called a just interval; in other words, the two notes are members of the same harmonic series.Justly tuned intervals are usually written either as ratios, with a colon (for example, 3fractions, with a solidus (3 ⁄ 2). Sometimes a technical distinction is made between the two styles, but in general they are equivalent and interchangeable. Just_intonation | |
| Medieval music The term medieval music encompasses European music written during the Middle Ages.

| Pythagorean tuning Pythagorean tuning is a system of musical tuning in which the frequency relationships of all intervals are based on the ratio 3. Its name comes from medieval texts which attribute its discovery to Pythagoras, but its use has been documented as long ago as 3500 B.C. in Babylonian texts. It is the oldest way of tuning the 12-note chromatic scale. Pythagorean_tuning | |

| Monophony music, monophony is the simplest of textures, consisting of melody without accompanying harmony. This may be realized as just one note at a time, or with the same note duplicated at the octave (such as often when men and women sing together). If the entire melody is sung by two voices or a choir with an interval between the notes or in unison, it is also said to be in monophony. Monophony | |
| Gilles Binchois Gilles Binchois, also known as Gilles de Binche or Gilles de Bins (c. 1400 – September 20,1460), was a Franco-Flemish composer, one of the earliest members of the Burgundian School, and one of the three most famous composers of the early 15th century. While often ranked behind his contemporaries Guillaume Dufay and John Dunstaple, at least by contemporary scholars, his influence was arguably greater than either, since his works were cited, borrowed and used as source material more often than those by any other composer of the time.
