The Renaissance Era (2 ene 1500 año – 1 ene 1600 año)

Descripción:

Single texts, standard SATB scoring, integrated musical material, and imitative textures began appearing in the early renaissance (even before 1500)
Styles at the beginning of the Renaissance were mainly characterized by long phrases of text and incipient forms of imitative polyphony.
Mid-renaissance, composers used several short phrases, and textures were unified by pervasive imitation.
Music became more word-oriented to effectuate clarity of text in performance.
Most common technique employed a preexisting tune as a cantus firmus, usually in the tenor voice and scored to long note values than the other parts.
Cantus firmus was frequently inverted, retrograde, and retrograde inverted as well as in its original form.
Virtually all Renaissance genres were composed for voices without specified instrumental accompaniment, but instrumental accompaniment was still common, especially during the later half of the era.
Sacred forms for the most part endured throughout the era. The madrigal and the chanson did not experience a continuous history outside the renaissance.
