While most surviving music during the Middle Ages is monophonic, the
polyphony of the era is characterized by:

a. dissonances that resolve to open, hollow-sounding, consonant chords
b. a basso continuo that supports the melody
c. sudden shifts to remote chords for expressive purposes
d. triads that are now the standard consonant chord
e. simple chordal harmonies that are made more active by an Alberti bass
