Music from the
Renaissance and Baroque 
From: Columbia
University
In this seminar, Susanne Dunlap, visiting assistant
professor of music at Columbia University, provides a lively and
thoughtful overview of some of the major themes, composers and works
that characterized the shift from Renaissance music to that of the early
Baroque. Dunlap introduces a variety of musical forms--including
polyphony, the motet, oratorios and the madrigal--and explores the
differences in instrumentation and verbal melodies in both periods.
Dunlap also provides a guide to appropriate recordings and readings.
Each recommendation sheds light on Renaissance and early Baroque music
for novices unfamiliar with these important musical eras as well as for
experts wishing to learn more.
