Renaissance Composers
- Return
to Music Shoppe
- Welcome, welcome! I am known as Violini De
Gamba. You won't mind going up these stairs ahead of me - my
arthritis and all. When you get to the landing, turn to the right.
You will most assuredly meet the composers who are here today.
-
- Guillaume
Dufay who composes polyphonic musical compositions for voice
-
- Josquin
des Pres who uses a technique called "'point' of imitation"
-
- Luco
Montovani, an assistant to the madrigal composers
-
- Antonio
Bache who has just returned from a trip to Florence to meet with
his group called the Camerata
-
- There were many intresting composers during
the Renaissance period. Since not all of them are here of course,
you may want to hunt up some of these composers outside of Virtual

William Byrd in England
Tomas Luis de Victoria in Spain
Orlando di Lasso in Germany
Philippe de Monte in Austria
Josquin in Italy
Thomas Morley, John Wilbye, Thomas Weelkes, Orlando Gibbons,
