the period in European history between classical antiquity and the Renaissance, usually regarded as extending from the downfall of Rome, in 476, to about 1450-1500.
the period of history between classical antiquity and the Italian Renaissance
or the medieval period. The Middle Ages were so called because this historical period "came between" the classical period of Greece and Rome and the revival of classical learning in the Renaissance (or early modern period). The Middle Ages lasted from about 400 - 1500. Chaucer (about 1343-1400) lived during the medieval period; Shakespeare and Milton lived during the early modern period. These designations are all constructed or interpreted and not actual events. (Note the correct spelling of "medieval," which means "middle" + "age" [Lat. aevum].)

The period preceding the Renaissance, in music roughly from 600 to 1400 (or 1450).
