ensure clarity and purity of church music

Explanation:

1. For the first question, the standard time frame for the Middle Ages in Western music is widely accepted as 450 to 1450 CE, marking the transition from late antiquity to the Renaissance.
2. For the second question, Canon #8 from the Council of Trent aimed to reform church music: it targeted secular elements in sacred music, pushed for using the vernacular (local language) for accessibility, and overall sought to uphold the clarity and purity of religious music, so all these goals apply.
