The renaissance songbooks maintain the legacy of the troubadours now in polyphonic format; ecclesiastical music chapels are also organized in the Renaissance, which have a key role in the Modern Age. These music chapels were professional ensembles in the service of the main temples; these music chapels had a teacher responsible for leading, teaching and composing polyphony, singers, instrumentalists and choirboys, mainly as learners.
