The characteristics of English Renaissance poetry are the use of metaphors and conceits and the concept of Humanism. Shakespeare wrote poems in this time period and sonnets were a common form of poetry.

During Renaissance, vocal music was more important than instrumental music and composers during that period wrote music to enhance the meaning and emotion of the text. Renaissance music is mostly polyphonic, and imitation among the voices is common, with each voice presenting the same melodic idea. Consensus among music historians - with notable dissent - has been to start the era around 1400, with the end of the medieval era, and to close it around 1600, with the beginning of the Baroque period, therefore commencing the musical Renaissance about a hundred years after the beginning of the Renaissance as understood in other disciplines.

First of all, this isn't a question you put here, you just ended it with a question mark. Test makers make that mistake a lot. Hey, what if... you want the answer to a test?? That would be cheating. I'll give you what to search, YOU search it.

Type into Google, Yahoo, etc. (take out quotation marks): "renaissance music". It'll be on Classical Music websites, Wikipedia, everywhere but the dumb person who'll give you the answer.

consider the shift of topics - secular versus the old clerical. another thing is the usage of legends and myths as a basis. remember, it was not a drastic shift
