[Annotated extract from ‘The History of Western Music’ ‘THE RENAISSANCE PERIOD’ ‘The Franco-Flemish school’ ]

‘During the course of the 16^th century, instrumental music burgeoned rapidly, along with the continually developing idiomatically instrumental techniques, such as strongly accented rhythms, rapid repeated tones and figures, angular melodic lines involving wide intervallic* skips, wide ranges, long, sustained tones and phrases, and much melodic ornamentation.’
