Abstract

The Gothic style in the Middle Ages has been passed down like an epic, and its achievements in the field of architecture are obvious to all. However, in the music field, the definition of “Gothic (style)” is still unclear. This article sorts out and summarizes several related discourses in contemporary literature. Some scholars believe that Gothic music (the music of Notre Dame de Paris), folk music such as music of troubadours, poets, famous singers, and even art nouveau represented by Marshaw, etc., are all included in the description of different academic literature. In short, some people only agree that the religious music born in Notre-Dame de Paris is “Gothic music”, while other scholars argue that it is a combination of religious and secular music. Combining the above viewpoints, the author defines the so-called “Gothic music” from the semantics of foreign languages. “Musik der Gotik” in German actually refers to the development of the music field when the Gothic period was popular in northern Western Europe in the history of architecture, which necessarily includes both religious and secular music categories.
