No, the Renaissance period came slightly before the Baroque period. However, a large number of Baroque composers were influenced by Renaissance music.

Musical notation did not appear until the Renaissance...
Are you perhaps talking about Palestrina?
False. Concentration on vocal music during the Renaissance period does not mean that instrumental music continued to be used as mere accomplishment for voices.
Five music composers during the Renaissance period include Giovanni Gabrieli, William Byrd, Pierre de La Rue, Josquin De Prez, and Thomas Tallis. Famous compositions of these artists are the Sonata pian'e forte, Ave verum corpus, O Salutaris Hostia, Mille Regretz, and If Ye Love Me, respectively.
there were no significant composers in the middle ages era. Music, and culture in general, saw a comeback during the Renaissance, but the Middle, or Dark, Ages were times of feudalism and very limited communication.
During the Renaissance, composers referred to the original chant used as the basis for the main melody in a composition as the "cantus firmus." This term designates the fixed, pre-existing melody that serves as the foundation for polyphonic music, allowing composers to build intricate harmonies and counterpoint around it. The use of cantus firmus was a significant development in the evolution of Western music during this period.
The recorder was the most common instrument in the renaissance by a long what so many, many composers compose for it. It was still popular in the baroque period though not the most. So, I'm guessing there are thousands of them. In the Renaissance the music wasn't written "For Recorder" but "For Soprano" so it could be any instrument able to play in that range.
there is no real answer to this, for the simple reason that all the Italian composers were absolutely wonderful, so it all depends on your taste, whether it is Verdi, or Puccini or many others that you can find in the library.
To generalize, Renaissance composers sought to express celestial harmony, Baroque composers sought to depict human emotion. Compositionally, Renaissance music is a congruence of equal parts. Baroque music is built hierarchically above a bass line (continuo). Renaissance music is a congruence of equal parts. Baroque music is built hierarchically above a bass line (continuo).
