Answer 2

Renaissance music used a wide variety of instruments, including strings, woodwinds, brasses, and percussions, plus keyboard instruments including the harpsichord, clavichord, and organ.

There were many composers and much music survives. Among the best were Palestrina, Victoria, the Elizabethan madrigalists (including  Morley, Campion, Pilkington, etc), Josquin des Pres, Monteverdi, Gabrieli, Luzzasco Luzzaschi, Gesualdo, Rameau, and many others.

They wrote religious and secular music of many kinds, including masses, motets, madrigals, dances, pieces for the lute and the clavier, and lots more.

One good place to start is the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book, readily available.
