By Milton G. Scheuermann Jr.
Published June 16, 2024 at 1:50 AM CDT

This week, Continuum looks at music of the 14th through 16th centuries, a period known as the Renaissance, where new ideas flourished in the arts. This program of Franco-Flemish, Italian, and English music concentrates on the four aspects of the Renaissance: disruption, word painting, harmony, and the lute.
