Composers

Zak and  jacoob __//**Prolific composer Josquin des Prez was a composer of the middle ages and early Renissance showed signs of advance in the use of counterpoint(the potting of one melody aginst another). Religious music was still very important. Choral music of the Renaissance was an extension of the Gregoriuan chant. It was sung a cappella and sung in Latin. Motets were popular during this time. A motet is a polyphonic work with four or five voice parts singing one religious text.**//__ Giovanni Palestain
