The principal genres of the Renaissance reflect new attitudes toward the sounds and expressive possibilities of music. How is this new attitude represented in the new Renaissance genres? Choose one or two listening examples; your choices of genre include the Mass, motet, madrigal, and Renaissance dances. Read what the textbook has to say about the music, listen to music, and imagine yourself in a Renaissance setting. How is the music you are now listening to in the Renaissance era different from the music you listened to in the medieval era? As always, in your discussion mention the title of composition(s) and the name of composer(s) you are considering.
