During the Renaissance one of the main forms of entertainment was music and dance. Music became a part of everyday life as people began to play music and sing for enjoyment. They experimented with new types of instruments and combinations of voices. Music was both an art form and a form of entertainment.


Some of the great music of the Renaissance was sung in churches in large choirs. One new style of music was to interweave several different vocal melodies at the same time. This type of music was called polyphony and became popular.

THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

Industrial Revolution
1760 to somewhere in the 1820-1849
Started in Great Britain, England.
During this time, there were also many new advancements in technology. The assembly line was one of the biggest inventions. Henry Ford is credited with this invention.
Some of the biggest advancements were in steam power. New fuels such as coal and petroleum, were used in these new steam engines. This revolutionized many industries including textiles and manufacturing.

Historical facts:

• No electric light, no cars, no telephone,no machines.....existed before the Industrial Revolution.
• Before Industrial Revolution around 80% of the population use farming as a job.
