"Et tu, Northern Renaissance?"
"I mean, you all came up with the designation. Not me..."
Sorry, Shakespeare, but you have so many good lines!
 
After last week’s Appalachian interlude, we are rebirthing our Renaissance saga with a look at some Renaissance composers from across Europe and a dive into the Northern Renaissance of art! The Northern Renaissance stands as its own monolith of an artistic movement distinct from the Italian Renaissance; but how does it do so, and who were some important artists? KC's got you covered! Amidst her discussion, Izaac will interject a few works by notable Renaissance composers who contributed to the changing musical landscape in unique ways.
