	A Selection of Renaissance Music
		The musical Renaissance is usually taken to begin with the generation of Gilles Binchois (c.1400-1460) and Guillaume Dufay (1397-1474), although most of the 15th century is placed in the medieval period by some historians.

	Reviews of 'Renaissance Music: Music in Western Europe, 1400-1600 (Norton Introduction to Music History)'
		Despite these considerable complaints, "Renaissance Music: Music in Western Europe" is a worthwhile and much-needed addition to the Renaissance music literature.
