There certainly are.
On a wonderful CD of Scots music from the time of Mary Queen of Scots
called 'Mary's Music' we have one 16th c.  example

Thanks for that, Tom.  It's lovely.

At the following site you can see the songs' titles and get to listen to
snippets. They are performances by the Scottish Early Music Consort, which I
like.

I love Renaissance music.
