Music of the Renaissance

Renaissance music is classical music written during the Renaissance period, approximately 1400 to 1600 A.D. Defining the end of the period is easier than defining the beginning, since there were no revolutionary shifts in musical thinking at the beginning of the 15th century corresponding to the sudden development of the styles corresponding to the Baroque era around 1600, and the process by which music acquired "Renaissance" characteristics was a gradual one. The following pages will hopefully help you understand some of the different aspects of what was a truly "re-birthing" time in music history............
