early music Renaissance music https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Renaissance_music https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renaissance_music https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q201405 Vocal and instrumental music written and performed in Europe during the Renaissance era. Consensus among music historians has been to start the era around 1400, with the end of the medieval era, and to close it around 1600, with the beginning of the Baroque period, therefore commencing the musical Renaissance about a hundred years after the beginning of the Renaissance as it is understood in other disciplines.
