Your Choices:
Medieval (5th-15th Century)

Viennesse Classic (1750-1830)
Romantic Period (1815-1910)
Impressionism (1890-1920)
Expressionism (1910-1950)
Modernism (1890-1930)
Postmodernism (starting 1930s)
Minimalism (starting 1960s)

Important! Please note that these dates are only guidelines! Of course all those periods had a rather smooth transition and the composition style didn't change drastically within a year or two, it all was a rather slow developing process. I tried to make the examples rather clear and obvious for the periods, though :)
