It refers particularly to a renewed interest in classical
learning – the writings of ancient Greece and Rome.

embrace an intellectual movement known as humanism.

Latin and Greek classics for wisdom and knowledge.

•This group gradually dropped the late Medieval period's
complex devices of isorhythm and extreme syncopation,
resulting in a more limpid and flowing style.

became a prominent feature around mid-century.

4. Middle Renaissance music (1467–1534)

using a printing press.

effect on how music spread.
