Middle madrigals (1 janv. 1541 – 1 janv. 1580)

Description:

Madrigal is a secular musical setting of Italian poetry. There are 7-11 syllables per line and it i through composed (no musical or textual repeats). The subject matter tends to be sensual or romantic, and it promotes amusement, entertainment, and charm. The final two lines usually satisfyingly and resolutely conclude the madrigal.

Middling madrigals tended to be for five or six voices as opposed to four and began to explore more seriously text painting and harmony.
