Renaissance music (c. 1400–1600) is characterized by rich textures, intricate polyphony, and harmonic clarity, reflecting the era's artistic and intellectual revival. Vocal and instrumental forms flourished, including madrigals, motets, and dance music, often performed on lute, harpsichord, viol, and sackbut. Composers emphasized smooth melodic lines, contrapuntal interplay, and expressive text setting. Modern ensembles and musicians revive Renaissance music with historically informed performances, blending period authenticity with contemporary interpretation, showcasing its timeless elegance and emotional depth.
