    The Renaissance era from 1400-1600 saw a rebirth and period of innovation in classical music. Composers gained more freedom from church control and explored new forms of harmony and ornamentation. Key developments included the emergence of polyphonic masses, simpler forms after edicts from the Council of Trent, and a mannerist style that influenced the Baroque era. Important Renaissance composers included Dufay, Dunstable, Josquin, Palestrina, Lassus, Tallis, Byrd, Monteverdi, and Allegri.

    A Brief History:

    • Early Renaissance: Closely followed the spirit of


    late Medieval music, but with less syncopation and
    a greater focus on harmonic cadences. Church
    composers pushed the boundaries in polyphony in
    their masses.
    • Middle Renaissance: Catholic church's Council of
    Trent issued edicts discouraging the use of
    excessive polyphony in vocal church music. This led
    to a new generation of Renaissance composers
    who embraced simpler forms of harmony.
    • New style called mannerism was
    established wherein music was embellished with
    various forms of ornamentation, suspension, and
    even... chromaticism 😲! This set the table for
    the bold, dynamic, heavily embellished music of
    the Baroque era.
