Italian Renaissance music is a style of music that was popular during the Renaissance period in Italy, from the late 15th century to the early 17th century. It is characterized by its polyphonic texture, with multiple voices singing in harmony, and its use of imitation and counterpoint. It is also known for its use of homophonic texture, with a single melody line accompanied by chords. Instruments used in Italian Renaissance music include the lute, harpsichord, organ, and viola da gamba. The music of the period was often used in religious settings, and was heavily influenced by the works of composers such as Palestrina, Monteverdi, and Gabrieli.
