Renaissance is the debut album by the English progressive rock band Renaissance, released in November 1969. It established the template which would be followed by the band for the next several years, even through a complete changeover in lineup: progressive rock songs heavily rooted in folk, but with prominent classical and jazz influences. It was a moderate success, reaching number 60 on the UK album charts.
