	Musical Forms - Sonata Form
		The main form of the group embodying the 'sonata principle', the most important principle of musical structure from the Classical period to the 20th century: that material first stated in a complementary key be restated in the home key.

		Sonata form has nevertheless served for some of the most ambitious and impressive tonal music of the 20th century by composers as different as Strauss and Hindemith, Elgar and Britten, Prokofiev and Shostakovich, and has even shaped movements (e.g.

	Glossary of Poetic Terms from BOB'S BYWAY
		Sidelight: The form of a poem which follows a set pattern of rhyme scheme, stanza form, and refrain (if there is one), is called a fixed form, examples of which include: ballade, limerick, pantoum, rondeau, sestina, sonnet, triolet, and villanelle.
		A category of artistic, musical or literary composition characterized by a particular form, style or content.
		Since it is a very flexible form, the writer not being hampered in the expression of thought or syntactic structure by the need to rhyme, it is used extensively in narrative and dramatic poetry.

	Piano Six - Janina Fialkowska Tour Schedule
		Four of Chopin’s most ambitious and technically daunting works were written in ballade form, a type of musical narrative whose origins can be traced back to the 12th century.
		The second of these, the magnificent Ballade in F major, was completed in 1839 in the course of a winter holiday on Majorca during which the composer nearly succumbed to tuberculosis.
		Although the music does not tell a story as such, Chopin uses the ballade framework to weave an expressive tapestry of undeniable potency.

	The Medieval Lyric - About Guillaume de Machaut
		Machaut’s achievement is particularly influential with the ballade, the form through which he most brilliantly demonstrated his new style, and which became the most important form of the 14th century.
		A significant feature of Machaut’s work is that he developed techniques for polyphonic treatment of secular poetic forms; he took these poetic forms over, so to speak, into polyphonic music, thereby transforming secular song, bringing it into the musical mainstream, and setting an agenda for his successors.
		Further, the lyric insertions of the Remede provide examples of each of the major formes fixes of the fourteenth century, pointing to the way music and poetry will subsequently develop: it is simultaneously an art of love and and art of poetic and musical composition.

	Lai - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The lai reached its highest level of development as a musical and poetic form in the work of Guillaume de Machaut; 19 separate lais by this 14th-century ars nova composer survive, and they are among his most sophisticated and highly-developed secular compositions.
		This distinguishes the lai from other common types of musically important verse of the period (for example, the rondeau and the ballade).
		A Lai was a song form composed in northern Europe, mainly France and Germany, from the 13th to the late 14th century.

	ipedia.com: Music of France Article
		Secular music in medieval France was dominated by troubadours, jongleurs and trouveres, who were poets and musicians known for creating forms like the ballade and lai.
		The first was the ars nova, the new, predominantly secular music which began with the publication of the Roman de Fauvel, and culminated in the rondeaux, ballades, lais, virelais, motets, and single surviving mass of Guillaume de Machaut, who died in 1370.
		The main form of Basque folk music is called trikitrixa, which is based on the accordion and includes popular performers like Joseba Tapia and Kepa Junkera.

		As in the first volume of this new series (12E048), the vast majority of the pieces here are in dance form, Classical as well as in the Polish Chopin-Szymanowski tradition while the Ballade and the Threnody pay homage to the German Romantic tradition.
		This large-scale work uses both the traditional liturgical text and additional material by Günter Grass, set in musical styles which are rooted in the traditions of antiphonal church music, but also incorporate many of the developments of the 20th century, including a tape part and serial techniques, as well as original and striking spatial effects.
		Endlessly inventive in his writing for the four voices whether using the classical theme-development-recapitulation or deriving forms of his own from tradition, there is always a breathing ebb and flow of tension and relaxation with sections that can be melodic and serene juxtaposed with music of greater energy and harmonic spikiness.

	Ballad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ballads should not be confused with the ballade, a 14th and 15th century French verse form.
		Many modern written musical ballads are in the repertory of American folk music.
		The form of a ballad has been imitated in modern poetry— most notably by the Canadian ballads of Robert W. Service, in Kipling's 'Road to Mandalay' or in 'Casey at the Bat.' 'The Ballad of the Bread-man', is Charles Causley's re-telling of the story of the birth of Jesus.

	Medieval music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The third main form was the ballata, which was roughly equivalent to the French ballade.
		The clasulae, thus practiced, became the motet when troped with non-liturgical words, and was further developed into a form of great elaboration, sophistication and subtlety in the fourteenth century, the period of Ars nova.
		For information about specific French composers writing in late Medieval era, see Jehan de Lescurel, Philippe de Vitry, Guillaume de Machaut, Borlet, Solage, and François Andrieu.

	Session I Abstracts
		Among the nine polytextual songs, Jean Vaillant’s two polytextual rondeaux in the form of courtly lovers’ dialogues are offset by a pastoral rondeau featuring a shepherdess and her bagpipe-playing Robin, a rustic counterpart to a group of songs dealing with musical composition and performance.
		Like the virelais, the rondeaux are more modest in style, both musically and textually, than the ballades, and lack their mythological and heraldic references to contemporary rulers and events; nevertheless, a closer look reveals these generally less ambitious songs to be more than mere page fillers.
		The four isorhythmic rondeaux, in which the rhythms of the first section are exactly repeated in the second half, display an idiosyncratic structure foreshadowed by Machaut’s isorhythmic ballade but recurring in only one other surviving fourteenth-century rondeau.

	THE ITALIAN MADRIGAL
		The madrigal, as well as the ballade and the "frottola", arises from Italian ars nova as a profane polyphonic musical expression usually played on occasion of young people's gatherings, in noble mansions or in open spaces.
		The "frottola", a four-part music with prevailing love subjects, had been parallely developed, as the homonymous literary form, from 1400 up to first half of 1500.
		Love and pastoral drama were the main subject of the strophic structured texts, music was a two or three-part one, or one-part with accompaniment of instruments.
