What is "Renaissance music"?

Renaissance music refers to the music created during the Renaissance period, roughly from the 15th to the early 17th century. This style is known for its smooth, balanced sound and the use of multiple, interweaving melodies. It includes both sacred works, such as choir compositions for church services, and secular pieces, like songs for social gatherings.
