Music

[Intro]
Music is a form of entertainment
That puts sounds together in a way that people like
Or find interesting
Most music includes people singing with their voices
Or playing musical instruments
Such as the piano, guitar, or drums

In the Renaissance, roughly 1400-1550
There was a lot of music
And many composers wrote music
That has survived so that it can be performed
Played or sung today
The name for this period, Renaissance, is a French word
Which means "rebirth"
This period was called the "rebirth" because many new types of art
And music were reborn during this time

Some very beautiful music was written for use in church services
Sacred music
By the Italian composer Giovanni da Palestrina
1525-1594
In Palestrina's music, many singers sing together
This is called a choir
There was also plenty of music not written for the church
Such as happy dance music and romantic love songs
Popular instruments during the Renaissance included the viols
A string instrument played with a bow
Lutes
A plucked stringed instrument that is a little like a guitar
And the virginal
A small, quiet keyboard instrument
