Question

select the correct answer. what led to the birth of polyphonic music? a. an increase in the size of church choirs b. a need for dance music in the middle ages c. the dominance of the church over the minds of people d. an effort to revolutionize the plainchant

Explanation:

Polyphonic music developed as a response to the dominance of plainchant in the church. The desire to add more complexity and variety to church music led to the growth of polyphony. An increase in church choir size was not the main cause. The need for dance - music was not related to the birth of polyphonic music. The attempt to revolutionize plainchant was a secondary aspect compared to the overall development away from the single - voiced plainchant due to the church's musical evolution.

Answer:

C. the dominance of the church over the minds of people
