	Monody - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While some monodies were arrangements for smaller forces of the music for large ensembles which was common at the end of the 16th century, especially in the Venetian School, most monodies were composed independently.
		The development of monody was one of the defining characteristics of early Baroque practice, as opposed to late Renaissance style, in which groups of voices sang independently and with a greater balance between parts.
		Contrasting passages in monodies could be more melodic or more declamatory: these two styles of presentation eventually developed into the aria and the recitative, and the overall form merged with the chamber cantata by about 1635.

	Chorale monody - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In music, a chorale monody was a type of a sacred composition of the very early German Baroque era.
		Almost all examples of chorale monodies were written in the first half of the 17th century.
		A chorale monody used the text of a chorale, but rarely if ever used the chorale tune, at least not in a recognizable form.

	What is monophony, polyphony, homophony, monody etc.?
		Monody is a term with a definite historical origin.
		The term monody emphasizes the distinct or soloistic role of the main melody, while the term homophony emphasizes the concord and alignment between voices in the texture.
		Monody appeared in print in 1589, as part of the original discussion of this music when it was new.

		The melody was accompanied by basso continuo—that is, a series of chords on a harpsichord or other instrument—supported by a bass melody instrument.
		Two members of the Camerata, Giulio Caccini and Jacopo Peri, realized that monody could be used for soliloquies and dialogues in a staged drama.
		The next most important was Rome, where a clear differentiation was made for the first time between the singing styles of aria (used for emotional reflection) and recitative (derived from monody and used for plot information and dialogue).

	Music from the Renaissance and Baroque
		Although there were precedents in accompanied song, nothing that had existed previously was quite the same as the genre of monody that resulted from the activities of several members of the Florentine Camerata, including Giulio Caccini and Jacopo Peri.
		Monody was simply a vocal melody (only one, not a web of different lines) accompanied by an instrument that would play chords underneath.
		In fact, monody eventually evolved into what we know today as recitative, and the distinction between sung and spoken moments in an opera became increasingly defined as the Baroque era wore on.

	Children of the Church, Part 4
		Mr Monody was shocked as he felt the front of Rowena’s panties begin to dampen and his fingers slid more easily over the lubricated gusset of her knickers.
		Sadly for the child, her wind filled bowel was pushed against the choirmaster’s leg and what with this and her distressed struggles, frequent blasts of breaking wing were a constant accompaniment to the rattling percussion of slaps and shrill soprano shrieks as the spanking continued.
		Mr Monody gave him ‘only’ six strokes and did not lay them on so hard as he had done for Tommy, but on an already tender bottom they hurt horrendously and David was yelling and crying well before the final stroke.

	Romanticism On the Net 17 (February 2000) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		Coleridge's "Monody" is either an individual effusion of Coleridge's sensibility, as in a traditional reading of Romantic lyrics; or it is a discursive utterance, alluding, echoing, and responding to other utterances and entering public debates.
		To censure it in a Monody or Sonnet is almost as absurd as to dislike a circle for being round.
		The originary moment of the "Monody" in 1796 is not its first version of 1790, nor even the probable date of its composition, which may be as early as September 1794.

	Gordon Monro - "Parabolic Monody (Solo for Heebiephone)"
		Parabolic Monody is a contribution to that genre of pieces for solo instrument recognisable by the following characteristics.
		The piece is written against the capabilities of the instrument: for example, an instrument capable of beautiful melodic lines won't be given any.
		Parabolic Monody is based on a repeating sequence of seven "notes", and has an embarrassingly simple arch structure, derived from a parabola.

	A guide to opera for the beginner
		Opera itself was formed in the late sixteenth century with the rise of two things: the pastorale, a form of poetry, and monody, a form of speech-song taken from the Greeks.
		The first combination of monody and the pastorale was attempted by two members of the Florentine Camerata, Peri and Caccini.
		Monteverdi introduced the idea of a musical line into his opera, and from this point onward monody was used to move plot forward in the form of recitative, or speech-song.

		The culmination in the development of church monody in Ukraine took place at the end of 16th and beginning of 17th cent.
		The monody imparts a stateof tranquility, peace or epic grandeur on the listener.

	Archaic Greek Lyric
		Lyric monody names that form of lyric composed for a single performer to either sing or read aloud for the pleasure of another or others (including divinities), on mostly secular occasions such as symposia or private invocations that might be erotically charged.
		Monody is particularly associated with Lesbos in 600 B.C.; a form which poets like Sappho and Alcaeus bring to exemplary heights (see also Anacreon, Praxilla, Hybrias, Corinna, Simonides of Ceos).

		As an early form of monody accompaniment, it predates basso continuo notation and may well have served as the model for it.
		Indeed, the singular importance of traditional, south-Italian singing and accompanying practices in the rise of monody fuels the notion that the guitar and its Neapolitan alfabeto system were developed, first and foremost, to serve the stylistic requirements of early monody.
		Several of his Italian texts have musical concordances in such monuments of early monody as the Brussels manuscript (B-Bc MS 704) and the Barbera manuscript (I-Fc).

	Evolution of Opera [MT Dorak]
		Solo vocal lines of one melody at a time with instrumental accompaniment (monody), as opposed to polyphony, was thought to be the correct way to set words as it would enhance the natural speech inflections but music was subservient to the words.
		The dominance of recitatives (monody) in early opera was in contrast with the prevailing vocal forms of the time (choral, contrapuntal, polyphonic), and assured comprehensibility of the words.
		In dramatic monody, a simple melody follows the rhythms and intonations of speech, accompanied by simple chords.

		In the late Florentine Renaissance, composers and poets re-created monody, abandoned more complex forms in music, and adapted ancient Greek monodic ideal into a “new music,” using poetics that were simple, personal, and sung.
		In its purest form, monody is verbal-vocal construction of melodic line, drawing upon vocal inflection to deliver para-verbal message.
		In this paper monody is considered in terms of new scientific understanding concerning the materiality of voice and the authentic voice’s capacity to connect self to Self, and self to Other.

	Chapter 12
		Whereas monody accommodates a single professional or nonprofessional performer, choral lyric requires a group of strictly nonprofessional polis dwellers as represented by the khoros 'chorus', who both sang and danced the song.
		Pindar's fusion of the professional into the ethical--so that the professional aspect of monody is no longer evident--is itself an ethical gesture, corresponding to a parallel fusion that is ongoing within his own choral medium.
		The solo performance of quasi-lyric monody, as in the case of Terpander, and the solo performance of nonlyric poetry, as in the case of the Homeric Hymns, are not the only media that evolved out of the prooimion 'prooemium' of the kitharôidos 'lyre singer'.

		Monody was alive an' he had a satisfied grin on his face when I helped to carry him out in the air.
		Monody's shoulder was all shattered to smash, but still, it wasn't no reason for him to die, so I begun to kid him about it.
		We tried to get Monody to take his clothes off an' be comfortable; the boys fairly pestered the life out of him tryin' to do somethin' for him, but he was obstinate, said 'at his clothes was clean, an' he didn't intend to take 'em off till they got dirty.

		In this article I expand the boundaries of these investigations by discussing the transmission of Florentine monody between professional and amateur musicians in Florence within the context of an important new manuscript discovery containing intabulated accompaniments of works by Caccini, Peri, and Rasi.
		Their arrangements of polyphony into lute-accompanied song and their intabulated accompaniments reveal how “monody” and the poetics of music-text relationships had always been part of the amateur musician’s repertoire.
		Thus, to perform from this manuscript the singer/student would have had to commit the notes of the song to memory, a format that reveals standard pedagogical practice and preserves as well the essentiality of the relationship between master and apprentice.

	Milton: Lycidas - Notes
		That is, each movement begins with an invocation, then explores the conventions of the pastoral, and ends with a conclusion to Milton's "emotional problem" (quoted in Womack).
		Canzone is essentially a polyphonic lyrical form, hence creating a serious conflict with the "monody." Milton may have meant "monody" in the sense that the poem should be regarded more as a story told completely by one person as opposed to a chorus.
		This person would presumably be the final narrator, who seemingly masks himself as the "uncouth swain." This concept of story-telling ties Lycidas closer to the genre of pastoral elegy.
