Lute music is a type of music played on the lute, a stringed instrument with a long neck and a rounded body. It originated in Europe during the Renaissance and Baroque periods, and was popular in courts and among the aristocracy. The lute has a unique sound that is characterized by its delicate, plucked strings and its ability to produce polyphonic music. Lute music ranges from simple, solo pieces to complex, multi-voiced compositions, and is often associated with the music of composers such as John Dowland, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Francesco da Milano.
