| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Renaissance classical music emerged in the 14th and 15th centuries and introduced a wider vocal range, as well as a stronger reliance on the interval of the third as a consonance. Compositions and notations of the era presented increased difficulty and exhibition in performance. This book gives an overview of Renaissance music, the most prominent genres and some of its leading composers. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added.
