B. Venetians.
C. Netherlands.
D. Burgundians.
Solution
Answer
The answer is C. Netherlands
Explanation
Option A: Floristans
There is no historical or cultural group known as the "Floristans" in the context of the Renaissance. This option is not relevant to the question.
Option B: Venetians
While Venice was an important cultural center during the Renaissance, particularly known for its contributions to art and architecture, it was not the primary region where the Renaissance of music began.
Option C: Netherlands
The Renaissance of music is often associated with the Franco-Flemish School, which originated in the region that is now modern-day Netherlands and Belgium. This area was a significant center for musical innovation during the Renaissance period, producing many influential composers such as Josquin des Prez and Guillaume Dufay.
Option D: Burgundians
The Burgundian region was indeed influential in the early stages of the Renaissance, particularly in the development of polyphonic music. However, the term "Netherlands" more accurately describes the broader region where the Renaissance of music flourished.
