    Compare and contrast

    • Renaissance music was rather constrained when compared to baroque


    music, yet it was the foundation for baroque music.

    • Baroque musical genres include both vocals and instrumentals, with the
    only difference being they were quite larger in number of categories than
    those of in the renaissance era.

    • Renaissance music consisted of smooth regular flow of rhythm while


    baroque music was comprised of a metrical rhythm with varied motion.

    • The tone of the baroque music was of development of tonal architecture


    and formal principles; baroque, binary, ternary, fugue, etc. while the form
    of renaissance music was much of the systematic point imitation and
    Cantus Firmus structures.

    • Melody with accompaniment was noted during the baroque period


    while the melody of renaissance music was much more of imitative
    counterpoint.

    By considering these differences in times and their music, it is quite


    understandable that renaissance and baroque music clearly differ from
    each other at many levels.
