I know this isn't math, there was no music option

Answer:

Medieval - Basically pretty simple, music kind of was based around one line melodies - there wasn't really too much rhythm. It was all just Gregorian chants and what is called 'plainsong'. Maybe some wandering musicians playing uncomplicated popular melodies, nothing too complex.

Renaissance - Starts to show more complexity with multiple 'voices' either instrumentally or vocally. Composers were starting to get interested in the richer sound and possibilities of using multi-voiced pieces.

Put it in your own words and add a little bit to it I don’t think that’s 125 words, honestly not sure

Explanation:
