For my performance task, I created a Vine that includes a sample of what music during the Renaissance would sound like. I did not include the entire song, but if you would like to listen to the full Renaissance song, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SvEttR6HTY

Woodwinds were the most available forms of instruments during the Renaissance. The recorder is still a common instrument today, and it's modern shape is similar to the shape used during the Renaissance. Today, woodwind instruments have been changed to accommodate different ranges and increase tone quality.

The tambourine was originally a small drum without jingles attached to the sides. The form and shape of it soon evolved and it acquired the jingles along with the name of timbrel. Modern tambourines are now much smaller and easier to hold and play.

The Hurdy-Gurdy was a common instrument in the Renaissance. Strings were used both in churches and for entertainment. This is considered an "ancestor" of the modern day guitar.

Early trumpets had no valves, differed in size, and were rarely used in churches. They were usually reserved for introducing royalty or the military. This structure is similar to modern day trumpets, although simplistic in style.

Many instruments we still use today trace their roots to the Renaissance. A few instruments that had existed previously were improved, and others were completely invented during the time. Some survived to present day music, others disappeared along the way. Nevertheless, Renaissance influenced modern-day brass, strings, percussion, and woodwind instruments.

Towards the end of the Renaissance Era, a polychoral style developed, bringing choirs of singers and brass and string players along with it. This style of music was beginning to lead into the Baroque Era, which eventually ended Renaissance around 1600.

This is around the time music started to be printed using the Gutenberg Press. Composers could sell their music to many people because it was so cheap and easy to print. People also began to make their own instruments such as trumpets, and many became masters of this craft.

Music during this time  gradually dropped the late Medieval period's complex devices of isorhythm, a repeating rhythmic pattern, and syncopation, rhythms that make a piece of music sound off-beat. A sense of rhythm was eventually found, leading to Mid-Renaissance Music.

The Gutenberg Press made distribution of music and musical theory possible. With this printing press, masses of works by composers were able to be disseminated to many people and churches. It also allowed for the training of hundreds of musicians. These trained composers were sought all through Europe, where churches and courts would hire them as teachers and personal composers.

Renaissance music is thought to have begun around 1400, with the end of the Medieval Era, to around 1600 with the beginning of the Baroque Era. Music of this time was influenced by the rise of humanistic thought, recovery of Greek and Roman heritage, and new discoveries. A unifying musical language emerged from this changing society.
