Renaissance to Baroque Music Shift

This document summarizes the transition from Renaissance to Baroque music. It notes that Renaissance music from 1450-1600 featured secular and church music, with choral polyphony, harmony, blending and imitation between voices and instruments. Composers mentioned include Guillaume Dufay and Josquin de Prez. Baroque music from 1600-1750 saw the development of distinct national styles, introduction of new forms like opera and concerto, and use of basso continuo and solo virtuosity. It formed the major/minor key system and saw the violin family replace viols in the orchestra.
