If I hear as much as one compass of renaissance music here I will call you plebs out on your plebeianess.
This is how I did it. I just went down the line:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_classical_music_composers_by_era
Kassia and Hildegard von Bingen, William Duke of Aquitane, Marcabru were all extremely pleasant surprises. Peter Abelard is also fantastic. I had no idea medieval music had such depth and emotion until I decided to listen to every fucking significant classical composer in history starting from the beginning. I didn't make it very far but I did acquire a deep appreciation for medieval composers.
Bump

An excerpt from The Cambridge Music Guide:
The earliest Western music we are likely to encounter today dates from the Middle Ages. From its earliest years the Christian church has had a place for music and, although its function has varied, its presence is an almost constant factor.
By the beginning of the eleventh century, the form of the church service - celebrating the feasts of the church year, the saints' days and other liturgical occasions - had become more or less standardized in western Europe, though there was regional and local variation. Throughout the Christian world the centerpiece of the liturgy was (and remains) the Mass. This ritual re-enactment of the Last Supper was designed to inspire people with the immutable certainty that the spiritual world offered, in contrast to the less certain circumstances of the everyday world in which they lived. Although the Latin text of the Mass was not accessible to most people, those without sufficient education to follow it would be familiar with the ritual and, if they attended a large church, would be affected by the pomp and ceremony of the liturgical celebration and the splendor of its music.
The earliest music in the medieval church was plainsong, or plainchant, sometimes known as "Gregorian" chant through its association with Pope Gregory I (590-604), during whose reign chants used in the Western churches were collected and categorized. For High Mass much of the text would be chanted to music. Some sections, forming the "Ordinary", always had the same words on every occasion; others, the "Proper", used different texts according to the feasts of the church year and the demands of the local liturgy.
Music-making in the Middle Ages was by no means confined to the church. From the end of the eleventh century secular music enjoyed something of a golden age, of around 200 years, among minstrels who traveled between the feudal courts of Europe. At different times and places they were referred to by different names - goliards, jongleurs, scops, gleemen, troubadours, trouveres, minnesinger - but all were united in one particular: the expression through words and music of the ideal of "courtly love". Their love-lyrics, which often idolized women as beautiful and unattainable, illustrate a side of medieval life that was in direct antithesis to the austere spirituality of the chanting monks who were their contemporaries.
Among the exponents of this great flowering of secular song, the best known today are the troubadours, virtuoso poet-musicians who were active mainly in Provence, in southern France. They wrote their own poetry, not in Latin but in the vernacular (known in Provence as langue d'oc), set it to music and performed it as entertainment at all levels of society, either unaccompanied or accompanying themselves on instruments such as harp, lute or fiddle.
Given the ravages of time and war, and the fact that the transmission of their music must have been mainly oral, it is remarkable that we have not only the names of many of these musicians - among the most famous are Marcabru, Bernart de Ventadorn, Guiraut Riquier, Adam de la Halle - but also some of their compositions. These are among the earliest composers known by name. Although they came from a variety of social backgrounds, trouveres (from northern France) and troubadours in particular were often men of high birth - esquires, knights, even kings (for example Thibaut IV, King of Navarre).
