1500- Renacimiento
Renaissance music
Renaissance music os vocal and instrumental music written and performed in Europe during the
Renaissance era. Consensus among music historians has been to begin the era around 1400,
with the end of the medieval er, and to close it around 1600 with the beginning of the Baroque
period
The invention of the printing press in 1430 made it cheaper and easier to distribute music and
musical theory texts on a wider geographic scale and to more people.
Demand for music as entertainment and as a leisure activity for educated amateurs increased
with the emergence of a bourgeois class. Dissemination of chansons, motets, and masses
throughout Europe coincided with the unification of Polyphonic practice into the fluid style which
culminated in the second half of the sixteenth century in the work of composers such as
Giovanno Pierluigi da Palestrina, Orlande de Lassus, Thomas Tallis and William Bryd
Cromático.
La palabra cromático tiene varias semánticas entre ellas “color” y “espacio musical. Esta
palabra viene del griego Khromatikos= relativo a la Khroma que significa “color de piel “. De ahí
la palabra pasó a significar simplemente color o pigménto. Por eso cromático en el arte significa
simplemente relativo a los colores.
