That is a heck of a question.  First of all, that covers 150 years of history!!!\n\nSo the answer is, lots happened!\n\nI can only do this for you...\n\nI hope you know what years you are looking for! (If not, you'll have to cross check by typing in "Elizabethan and Jacobean" and seeing what years they were in. There's only so much I can do!)

Besides occurring about 200 years after Medieval music (pre-1400), Baroque music (1600-1750)is primarill different because it uses instrumentation whereas Medieval music was solely vocal arrangments. \nMedieval:\n        1. All male voices\n        2. Monophonic textures\n        3. Sung in Latin\n        4. Non-metrical \nBarogue:\n        1. Elaborate compositions\n        2. New focus on writing musci to showcase instruments\n\nAdditionally, terms like Concerto, Movement, Opus, etc. were invented to help document and notate the new style.

No. We in the western hemisphere, I think, have been done a real disservice by not being exposed to people like Bach. Often lumped into the category of 'classical' - it really isn't. It's baroque. Too, it isn't played too often, and, for too long, what you hear are variations, adaptations, and pretty bad renderings generally. Fortunately, there are people like Trevor Pinnock ( Concertos for Cembali and strings ) who read the manuscript intent without projecting a personal agenda. All music has it's listeners, of course, but it's usually a developing process where you recognize it's quite close to your soul. Then you seek something more complete in it. Too much is exclusively visceral. That's my take on it, though. Other people might not feel the same way.

OY.  Um, the English Renaissance (circa late 1400's) or the beginning of the Italian Renaissance (circa 1350).\n\nOkay, Old English 450-1066.  450 marks the Invasion of the Romans.  1080, the Battle of Hastings and thus the French influence.  \n\nMiddle English 1066-1449 --- French influence via the Normans.  (by the way, Chaucer is the main man when it comes to Middle English --- you can see it in the way he uses French in his works --- and while it may be possible, I highly doubt anyone has done a translation of CT into Old English --- esp considering the French words had no way of existing pre-French invasion.)\n\nModern English 1450-2006  --- Discovery of the New World, and more importantly, the printing press which stabilized literature.\n\nSo, the English spoken during the Renaissance is the same as now.  HOWEVER, you're sitting there thinking, like hell it is, and you'd be right.  It has evolved, changed and so forth.  \n\nShakespeare's English is what they spoke during the Renaissance.  He will be your best bet; however, keep in mind, the rhythm he writes in is not always what was spoken.  The iambic pentameter was a fancy way to write, and a stylized way to speak, very difficult to achieve, naturally.  \n\nThat being the case, you're going to find a lot of poetry from the Renaissance and not a lot of prose.  \n\nIn college consider taking Old English and Middle English courses to see how the English language developed. The direct answer is that we speak very similarly to the way they spoke then.  The changes aren't as drastic as in the first two periods (have you ever read Beowulf in Old English---it's a bear and not many people can do it).\n\nSo, until you get into some upper division English courses (or even MA and PhD work) start by picking up a Norton Anthology of English.  You can find them hella cheap on the internet.  It doesn't have to be the latest edition.  The works don't change, just the way they're ordered in the text and some commentary about the work---maybe a shred of new info.  I bought my fifth edition recently for about 5 bucks; however, the 8th is currently selling (the complete set) for about $130.  \n\nKey notes to help you further.  The beginning of Modern English used thou, thee, and thy much more.  That is like tu versus usted i espanol.  Tu is informal whereas usted is formal.  Take the popular "Our Father" for example.  Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.  Thy kingdom come, thy will be done...\n\nThy is a show of closeness and familiarity.  If the scholars/monks translated it as [your] it would show a rigid formality uncommon in a father/child setting.  \n\nIf I can be of any further assistance, let me know.

Consider who was most important in society in the Restoration, and what was starting to happen to them as you got closer to Romanticism.  If you need an audio-visual hint, compare music from both eras and paintings from both eras.  How are they different?  What does that tell you about how how society was changing?

A carol was originally any song associated with any feast day which was also intended to be danced to.  Think of it as the medieval version of club music.

Mozart liked during the Romantic Era.  Why don't you do some research on him?  You could make part of your essay about him.
