List of Renaissance composers

Add article description


Renaissance music flourished in Europe during the 15th and 16th centuries. The second major period of Western classical music, the lives of Renaissance composers are much better known than earlier composers, with even letters surviving between composers. Renaissance music saw the introduction of written instrumental music, although vocal works still reigned in popularity. There is no strict division between period, so many later medieval and earlier Baroque composers appear here as well.
