Roman School

The Roman School was a group of musicians and composers active mainly in Rome from the 16th to 18th centuries. They focused on creating music that combined the expressive power of the Renaissance with the emerging style of the Baroque period. Known for their rich, emotional melodies and refined techniques, the Roman School played a significant role in developing sacred music, especially the polyphonic (multi-voice) style used in church and religious settings. Their work influenced later composers and helped shape European musical traditions during this transformative era.
