Music in the Renaissance and Reformation
You are planning to have a variety of live entertainment
during the festival. There will be continuous live entertainment on stage.
Additionally, you envision having small groups of roaming costumed musicians
performing music from the Court of King Henry VIII. In order to be historically
accurate, you are researching the music of the period.
The Renaissance and Reformation covered approximately the
same time span, yet the approach to art in each period was radically different.
Write a 3 page essay comparing and contrasting the major differences in musical
styles of these two periods. Discuss developments in society which likely
influenced the different approaches. You may include additional information about
the techniques, the differences between “church” music and
“court” music, and the instrumentation used. In addition to your text
book, you may use the phase resources and the Internet for additional
materials. Cite all of your sources using APA guidelines
