Secular Music
Secular music refers to non-religious compositions, often associated with courtly, folk, or entertainment contexts, especially prominent in the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Unlike sacred music, which was designed for liturgical use, secular music explored themes of love, nature, mythology, and daily life. Characterized by rich vocal textures, dance rhythms, and varied instrumentation, it often featured madrigals, chansons, and instrumental dances. Composers and performers like Tylman Susato and Alessandro Stradella exemplified its expressive range, while ensembles such as Weser-Renaissance Bremen and Cappella Warmiensis Restituta bring historical authenticity to modern performances.
