Even though the instrumental music of the Renaissance period did not equal the vocal music, in terms of quality and quantity, it still played an integral part of the era. Instrumental music gained in popularity and developeda musical form that was distinct from vocal music. During the Renaissance era, instrumental music was written according to specific rules.

1. Improvisation was very important in performance and for melodic ornamentation.

2. Transcriptions of vocal music for instrumental performance were numerous.

3. Instruments were freely employed in the performance of vocal music.

4. Some instrumental forms were borrowed from vocal forms, while others were instrumentally invented.
