Renaissance é uma banda de rock progressivo do Reino Unido
popular nos anos 1970. Considerada um das melhores bandas progressivas nesse
período ao lado de Yes, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Camel, Focus, Eloy e Gentle
Giant.
Os ex-membros da banda The Yardbirds, Paul Samwell-Smith, Keith Relf e Jim McCarty organizaram um novo grupo dedicado à experimentação entre rock, música folclórica e música erudita. Juntamente com o baixista Louis Cenammo, o pianista John Hawken e a vocalista Jane (irmã de Relf) lançaram dois álbuns com a Elektra Records e Island Records, mas logo se dissolveram, deixando McCarty para reformular uma nova formação para a banda. Apesar disso, logo depois McCarty também deixou o grupo.
A nova formação, provavelmente a mais famosa na história da banda, consistia de Annie Haslam no vocal, Michael Dunford no violão, John Tout no piano, Jon Camp no baixo e vocal e Terry Sullivan na bateria. Lançaram Prologue em 1972, com músicas escritas por Dunford e McCarty e letras pela poetisa Betty Thatcher.
Nos anos 1970 a banda teve uma carreira bem sucedida comercialmente. Influenciados pela música erudita, incluíam em suas canções referências a compositores como Bach, Chopin, Albinoni, Debussy, Rachmaninoff, Rimsky-Korsakov e Prokofiev, entre outros.
O Renaissance emplacou a canção "Northern Lights" em 1978, retirada do álbum A Song for All Seasons, mas o mesmo não aconteceu com o álbum seguinte de 1979, Azure D'or, o qual deixou os fãs infelizes com a mudança no som da banda, que abandonou os arranjos orquestrais e passou a utilizar sintetizadores, um caminho seguido pela maioria das bandas de rock progressivo da época. Camp assumiu mais responsabilidade na composição, e Tout e Sullivan deixaram a banda. Haslam, Dunford e Camp lançaram dois álbuns nos anos 1980 e se separaram em 1987.
No final dos anos 1990, Haslam e Dunford formaram suas próprias bandas utilizando o nome Renaissance, lançando álbuns com diferentes formações. A banda se reuniu em 2002 para gravar o álbum Tuscany e se apresentar em um concerto na Astoria em Londres antes de partir para uma pequena turnê no Japão. Annie Haslam então anunciou que a reunião não seria continuada.
Em 2005, com a banda Renaissant, Terry Sullivan gravou o álbum South of Winter, ao estilo Renaissance, com letras por Betty Tatcher e contribuições no teclado por John Tout. Em 2013 lançaram o álbum Grandine il Vento, em 2014 ele foi relançado com o nome de Symphony of Light incluindo algumas faixas adicionais. Texto: Wikipédia. Site Oficial.
