The Renaissance (jan 1, 1400 – jan 1, 1600)
Description:
Renaissance musical style was very different from that of the Middle Ages. In place of the stark or subtle sounds of medieval music, Renaissance compositions offer smoothly contoured and carefully woven textures. Renaissance music encompasses three main musical genres: Mass movements, settings of other Latin texts (motets), and secular songs. All of these genres are vocal.Added to timeline:
