It's not.
It could be that I used digital instruments though...
sounds nice.
i would be convinced if it came up on a renascence compilation.
I have to just put this out there: This is not even close to Renaissance style. At least from those that I know.

I can't read sheet music, and all of my published music is made by playing on a regular keyboard for typing or plugging in notes in PianoRoll in FL Studio.
I have never "studied" renaissance music as I can't read sheet music. However, I have heard a lot of renaissance music. In fact that is the only kind of genre (along with medieval and ancient greek music and perhaps film scores) that I listen to.
It's a good recording, and the samples are pretty convincing. I would do something about the several pauses, which seem abrupt. Also, I'd like to hear more variation of the melody, rather than the exact same thing repeated. The long drone towards the end is a welcome change in texture.
Yes, study as much theory as you can. Find books and read them. Keep listening to music. And above all, keep making recordings. This is what artists do; they like to 'make' things. This is a very good indicator, this desire to create.
