Guillaume Dufay, a prominent composer of the early Renaissance, wrote his music using a blend of Gregorian chant and the emerging polyphonic styles of his time. He often incorporated three to four vocal parts, emphasizing harmony and counterpoint while employing techniques like cantus firmus, where a pre-existing melody serves as the basis for a new composition. Dufay's works also reflect a careful attention to text setting, ensuring that the music enhances the emotional and spiritual message of the lyrics. His innovative use of melody and structure laid the groundwork for future developments in Western music.
There were no distinguished composers for the first musical pieces to be sung in medieval cathedrals. However, they (as well as any other music before it that we know of) were not documented until Pope Gregory charged his monks with devising a way to write lyrics and sheet music for the songs to preserve them. They are now known as either "Gregorian Chant" or "Plainsong", and are still preformed in European cathedrals today.
