The Renaissance
During the Renaissance period from 1450-1600, there was a rebirth of learning, science, and the arts throughout Europe. Key developments included the rediscovery of ancient Greek and Roman writings, the invention of the printing press, and Copernicus' discovery that the Earth revolves around the sun. Music during this time saw an increased vocal range, richer textures with multiple parts, and the development of polychoral styles with multiple choirs.
