	Trecento-Madrigal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the madrigal's later stages of development its uppermost voice was often highly elaborate, with the lower voice, the tenor, much less so.
		The text of the madrigal is divided into three sections: two strophes called terzetti set to the same music and a concluding section called the ritornello usually in a different meter.
		The later 16th century madrigal is unrelated, although it often used texts written in the 14th century (for instance by Petrarch).

	Musical Forms - Madrigal
		The earliest madrigals of the 14th-century type probably date from the 1320s; the genre was fully developed in the 1340s, with two- or three-line verses (usually with identical music) and a one- or two-line terminating ritornello.
		Solo madrigals were also composed in the first quarter of the 17th century by Caccini, d'India and others, after which the genre became virtually indistinguishable from the new Dialogue and Cantata.
		The rise of the English madrigal in the last decades of the 16th century coincided with the heyday of the English sonnet sequence.

		madrigal MADRIGAL [madrigal] name for two different forms of Italian music, one related to the poetic madrigal in the 14th cent., the other the most common form of secular vocal music in the 16th cent.
		Although only two sets of his madrigals (1598, 1609) are extant, their excellence distinguishes him as perhaps the greatest English madrigalist of the 16th cent.
		Much of his mature life was spent in Italy, where his some 120 madrigals, for four and five voices, were admired and are of crucial importance in the history of the genre.

	98-2075 -- U.S. v. Madrigal-Aguilar -- 04/05/1999
		In essence, Madrigal's theory is that someone else could have been responsible for putting the marijuana in the truck and that the government's evidence was insufficient to dispel a reasonable doubt because of this possibility.
		Madrigal testified that he planned to follow I-25 to Albuquerque where he would turn east on I-40 and that he had chosen this route to avoid steep climbs on I-40 in Arizona because he had just had his engine rebuilt and needed to avoid unnecessary strain on the new engine during a break-in period.
		Madrigal's log book showed that he had not hauled any loads for at least ten days prior to this trip, making it the more unusual that he felt he could afford to delay his departure on this trip.

		Indeed the nature of the Italian madrigal was defined by the closeness with which it expressed the wordsãone sees that it is on the way to declamatory solo-singing and so to opera.
		The leadership of the campaign for the Italian madrigal was immediately taken over by Byrd's pupil Thomas Morley; himself a gifted composer, he carried it forward by example as well as precept.
		Thomas Tomkins did not publish his madrigals until 1622, when they were on the way out and the lute-song had already taken first place in favour; in consequence they have always been neglected, though among the finest in their kind.

		The 16th century madrigal as a poetic form was a one stanza poem using a free rhyme scheme and a fairly even mix of seven and eleven-syllable lines.
		It is inconceivable that the musical language of the 14th century madrigal was used even as a basis for the 16th century madrigal for the simple reason that the notation used in the 14th century could not be read in the 16th century.
		The early 16th century madrigal was based heavily on the poetic aesthetics of the 14th century poet Petrarch.

		The design which emerged had a 22 foot dory-style hull with a shallow full-length keel, leeboards, lifting rudder, raised topsides and a permanent A-frame permitting the mast to be raised or lowered in seconds.
		The original Madrigal was built for that particular voyage - and as such it was constructed as a 'disposable' boat, with the hull being built from cheap external shuttering plywood, with no protection other than taped-over seams and several coats of paint.
		Madrigal's construction technique has been adopted for at least two other craft: a 19 foot version with a pointed bow, and a twin-beam commercial fishing vessel, photographs of which can now be seen in the new Hull variations page.

	Sonic Glossary: Madrigal
		Madrigal is a musical genre: a polyphonic musical setting of poetry in a vernacular language, originally in Italian, but also later in English and, much more rarely, German and other languages.
		There is no direct connection between the 14th-century madrigal repertory and that of the 16th and 17th centuries.
		(The madrigal ceased to exist between about 1420 and 1530.) Both the poetry set and the musical styles differ greatly between the earlier and later periods.
