	Renaissance (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The lineup that was eventually settled on was the best-known of the band's history, and consisted of Annie Haslam (vocals), Michael Dunford (acoustic guitar), John Tout (piano), Jon Camp (bass/vocals) and Terry Sullivan (drums).
		Renaissance scored a hit single in 1978 with Northern Lights, taken from the album A Song for All Seasons, but the band floundered following 1979's Azure D'or, as fans were unhappy with the band's turn towards synthesizers, a path followed by most progressive rock bands at one time or another.
		Illusion was the name of a band formed by the four surviving members of the original Renaissance after the death of Keith Relf.

	Renaissance Biography
		Because the band had trouble finding a suitable keyboard player, Dirk's girlfriend at the time, Véronique Aerts, was asked to rehearse with the band since she had been playing keyboard since childhood.
		The band started to rehearse a few more newly written songs and was ready to hit the stage, but for several reasons was unable to play live.
		Firstly, drummer Jürgen had left the band to concentrate more on his studies at the University of Ghent, and the end of the relationship between Dirk and Véronique meant that not only a new drummer but also a keyboardist had to be found in order to perform live.

		Piffaro, The Renaissance Band, formerly The Philadelphia Renaissance Wind Band, was founded in 1980 with the mission of faithfully performing wind music from the late Medieval, Renaissance and early Baroque periods.
		Whether it was the bagpipes and hurdy-gurdy heard by the peasant population in the country or the elaborate shawm bands in the city, or the lute-recorder groups favored by the nobility, Flemish music was every bit as integral to life as the visual arts.
		The German tradition in the Renaissance proves to be as rich and varied as in later genre traditions.

	Gothamist: The Renaissance Band
		You'd imagine that a band recording today with that kind of appeal would be, sort of, the Wyld Stallions of the future, the band that brings us all together, but, alas, life is not Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, and Wilco are still a (relatively) unknown band.
		We got there early to get a sense of the scene, to talk to the band and to get a copy of the signed book, which happens to include a 40-minute CD of previously unreleased material collected during the recording of their most recent album, "A Ghost Is Born".
		Tweedy's previous band, Uncle Tupelo, put him and high school friend Jay Farrar into the spotlight of the alt-country music scene in the late-80's/early-90's until 1994, when Jay Farrar quit the band, and Tweedy and the remaining members began Wilco.

	Owain Phyfe article renaissance magazine
		The two agreed on ideas of the Renaissance repertoire as a living musical expression, and from that connection, produced and recorded Sweet Was The Song in 1995 as a tribute to 16th-century lute music.
		The band's grief inspired many tributes to their comrade, including a cyberspace memorial on the web, a memorial fund, and a musical performance in Ohio dedicated to Smith, that yielded a standing ovation.
		P hyfe believes that good renaissance music and lyrics imbues its listener with the knowledge that man should exist in freedom, that virtue is worth pursuing, happiness is not to be sacrificed, and that life is an adventure worth living.

	The Harlem Renaissance - Black History Month - TheBostonChannel.com \| WCVB
		The roots of the Harlem Renaissance were in the Great Migration of 1914-1918, in which rural Southern African-Americans relocated in droves to the industrial North for better employment opportunities.
		Perhaps the breakthrough literary achievement of the Harlem Renaissance was Alain Locke's collection of fiction, poetry, drama, and essays called "The New Negro," published in 1925.
		The long-term effects of the Harlem Renaissance are staggering.

	Cucamonga Renaissance Band - Instruments of the Renaissance
		Many people think recorder when they hear "Renaissance", and virtually all the members of the Cucamonga Renaissance Band play the recorder at one time or another, but the recorder was only one of many instruments of that period.
		Most of the reed instruments of the Renaissance were of the double-reed type, like the modern oboe, rather than the single-reed, like the modern clarinet.
		In the Renaissance it was used mainly for war and for fanfares, but in the later Baroque period virtuoso players used it in concertos and other complex music.

		As for the name thing, We'd like to point out we stopped using the name RENAISSANCE on future releases mainly to avoid legal issues.

	new world renaissance band
		The 30 tracks on this album are all played either on an eight-course Renaissance lute or a 13-course Archlute and although some tunes will sound familiar to fans of this genre, Lute Works also features some competently-performed originals that fit in nicely with the period songs.
		On this, their fourth release, the band members continue to provide their own take on early French, Italian, Irish, and other melodies with an approach that lends itself as much to contemporary folk music as anything else.
		The original band has grown to include no less than eight new musicians, yet for some reason their work here never seems to achieve the remarkable unity heard on Odyssey (1996), when a simple basse dance could spin off into a dazzling ensemble piece.

	The New World Renaissance Band
		Looking through their SF soundtracks, I noticed they had tons of discs from such odd-sounding bands as Silly Wizard, Altan, etc. For the hell of it, I asked if any of it was any good.
		So my next question was "What's a good band to start with?" They gave me The New World Renaissance Band.
		Seldom is such a sound captured in a studio, but The New World Renaissance Band has succeeded admirably.

	Renaissance Band
		The instrumentation for most renaissance music is not specified, and even where it was obviously written for voices or some particular instrumentation, it's obvious that that didn't stop other instruments from using it.
		If the instrument you play is designed for playing in modern concert halls, and you don't have the control over the dynamics to balance the more intimate quality of the Renaissance instruments, you should probably join a modern band.
		In other words, musically, I'd rather play with a good clarinet player than a squawky shawm player, but part of the point of this group is to give the squawky shawm player a place to improve, and there are lots of other groups designed for the squawky clarinet player.

	The New World Renaissance Band - Discography
		With his mesmerizing vocals and talent on the vihuela (a "Chitarra Bantente" which is a guitar-like instrument of early design), combined with the talent of Cantiga, the New World Renaissance Band was formed..
		Two factors were important for my choice of pieces; to make this pleasing and accessable for a wide audience and yet to be interesting and substantial for a trained listener.
		This group, created by singer Owain Phyfe, has become a popular phenomenon that takes the music and lyrics of Renaissance times and, by not adhering to the strictures of "approved" style, brings the full content and emotion of the compositions right into the lap of the 20th century.

		Then it's a slow process of figuring out how to decipher what is often a very sketchy notation- we jam around with the melodies and try various chords- a shameful modern imposition to an early music purist, but necessary for a folk group.
