Intro

RenaissanceMusic

Western music from roughly 1400 to 1600. Secular and sacred music were both common, made possible by massive advances in musical notation and the development of the printing press, which allowed for easier copying of musical notation. Polyphony flourished in the Renaissance period. Triads began to appear in the 15th century, and in the 16th century, the harmonic system of church modes was gradually replaced by the concept of functional tonality. Opera was developed in the Renaissance, along with early versions of many modern instruments.
