Welcome to back to season 2 of Between the Barlines! I'm your host, Dr. Maeve Berry, and in the first episode of season 2, we're diving back into our studies of music history and theory with one of the most revolutionary periods in history—the Renaissance. A time of rebirth, innovation, and exploration, the Renaissance redefined human thought and expanded the boundaries of science, art, and music. Today, we are going to talk about some new ideas, their formations, and how they affected change and expansion in and during the renaissance.
