Comment:

The Renaissance (1450-1600) was a time of innovation and discovery. While Galileo busied himself with the choreography of the solar system, Palestrina, Monteverdi, and their contemporaries began to unravel the mysteries of harmony. Allegri became the first one-hit wonder with his stunning "Miserere" and Gabrieli invented the concept of loud with his "Sonata Pian' e forte."
