A cappella
Opera originated in the late Renaissance period, specifically around the late 16th century, as a form of musical theater that combined vocal and instrumental music with dramatic storytelling. It evolved from earlier traditions of music and drama, particularly through the efforts of composers and theorists in Italy, such as Jacopo Peri and Claudio Monteverdi. The genre blossomed during the Baroque period, ultimately leading to the rich operatic traditions that developed in the following centuries.

It has a more flowing rhythm than later music and not necessarily a definable 'beat', although some of this is lost when it is translated into modern notation.

The classical period of Western music occurred roughly between 1750 and 1820. This era followed the Baroque period and preceded the Romantic period, characterized by a shift towards clarity, balance, and structure in musical composition. Key composers of this time include Haydn, Mozart, and early Beethoven, who emphasized form, melody, and harmony, leading to the development of sonata form and symphonic structure. The classical period laid the foundation for many musical conventions that are still in use today.
In the romantic period, starting at the end of the classical period with the late Beethoven (see E. T. A. Hoffmann), the sonata form was used to be seen as formal and insufficient to express the wide range of emotions. Schubert, who admired Beethoven and his sonatas, composed many, but with the time the symphonic poems and other more free genres were preferred. Still most symphonies used the sonata form, which has been evolved by composers like Mahler or later Berg to fulfil the new pretensions.

The villancico was developed in Spain during the Renaissance period. This form of vocal music became popular in Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries.
Even though the instrumental music of the Renaissance period did not equal the vocal music, in terms of quality and quantity, it still played an integral part of the era. Instrumental music gained in popularity and developeda musical form that was distinct from vocal music. During the Renaissance era, instrumental music was written according to specific rules. 1. Improvisation was very important in performance and for melodic ornamentation. 2. Transcriptions of vocal music for instrumental performance were numerous. 3. Instruments were freely employed in the performance of vocal music. 4. Some instrumental forms were borrowed from vocal forms, while others were instrumentally invented.

The musical period from 750 to 1150 is known as the Medieval period, specifically the early Medieval era. During this time, music was primarily vocal and often tied to religious contexts, with Gregorian chant being a prominent form. Notational systems began to develop, allowing for the preservation and transmission of music. This period laid the foundation for the evolution of Western music, leading into the later Medieval and Renaissance periods.
Rondo form began to emerge during the late Renaissance period and became more prominent in the Baroque era, particularly in the 17th century. It gained significant popularity in the Classical period, especially in the works of composers like Mozart and Haydn. Rondo form is characterized by the recurring theme, often in a pattern of A-B-A-C-A, creating a dynamic and engaging musical structure.
