Late Madrigal (jan 1, 1581 – jan 1, 1610)

Description:

Late madrigals were saturated with bold leaps and extravagant contrast. Vocal lines become more complex and harder to sing, thus becoming more geared towards professional singers. Some of the most progressive late madrigals explored chromaticism and harmony in ways not seen again until the twentieth century.
