MI: LIBRARY: HISTORY: RENAISSANCE The renaissance is considered to be the years ca.1420-1600. It was at this time that music was beginning to diversify and spread. Music no longer meant one type of song, or melody. Music had begun to become something that could represent an entire peoples, and something that was customized to be native to its creator/s. Music had escaped the confining limits set on it by the church. Now artists were mastering polyphony, and music was becoming a true art. Incredible works were also made by artists like Giovanni da Palestrina. Because the renaissance, or rebirth, was a time of great development in the
sciences and arts, music was also greatly influenced. Some other great composers
of the time were Byrd, Dowland, and Morley. Between these composers, and the
musicians, music thrived. |
