Music is cultural – it has historical context. Society shapes the lives of composers and performers. Many factors contribute to the style of music that was popular in a given historical period. Who were the patrons of music? What were the prominent venues for performances? What was the social status of the musicians? What role did the music play in the culture of the time?
