According to "Types of Music", the type of music varied throughout the different events it was played in. Church music was peaceful and pertained to Christian religion. Town music was very grandiose because it was played when nobility was entering the area. Street music was light and fun and was played at weekly markets and at fairs. Theater music greatly varied as did the plays it was performed for. Most theater music though, was quite dramatic. Finally, court music. Court music had much variation. It could range from solemn church songs, to lively dance music, to sophisticated madrigals.

How Does Music From The Elizabethan Era Relate to Music Today?

I believe Elizabethan music relates to modern music by the fact that there is so much variety. During the Elizabethan Era, the type of music that was played depended on what event it was being played for, as I mentioned in another of my "Post-its" (it is yellow and to the left of this one. This relates to music today because now there are many different genres of music, such as classic rock vs. hip hop. Another way I think it relates is because music in those times was very expressive, as is the music of today. My opinion of this was influenced by "Renaissance Era with an Elizabethan Flair".
