Solution

The statement about medieval music that is NOT true is: "Medieval music theorists favored the use of triads, the basic consonant chords of music."

During the medieval period, music was primarily monophonic (consisting of a single melodic line) or polyphonic (consisting of multiple independent melodic lines), and the concept of harmony as we understand it today, which includes the use of triads, was not yet fully developed. The use of triads became more common in the Renaissance and Baroque periods.
