Good classic Renaissance type music?

[Popinjay]

Doing a presentation tomorrow on Piero della Francesca and want to have some music in the background or whatever.

Go with something early baroque by Corelli or Geminiani. Although it's not Renaissance, I think it would have the right feel for your topic.

If you do decide to go with authentic Renaissance rather than early Baroque, this is your best choice and it's not even close. It would be the most fitting to your topic.

You're pretty much not going to be able to find music from the correct time period. So something from Peri's Eurdice or Monteverdi's Orfeo would probably be ok.
