A look at Renaissance music
Renaissance music, defined as the European music of the 15th and 16th centuries, has had an enormous influence on musical development in subsequent eras. Composers such as Guillaume Dufay and Josquin Desprez emphasized the connection between music and text, ushering in a new era of vocal music that continues to resonate today. The fusion of melodic and harmonic innovations will also be noticeable in the upcoming concert.
The Renaissance was a time of musical diversity, using different styles and instruments, including the lute. These instruments have continued to develop into modern times and are an integral part of the musical landscape of our time. The musical ideas of this era live on and continue to inspire musicians around the world who celebrate and reinterpret the legacy of the past.
