Canzone (music)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kanzone (derived from the Italian word canzone for song) is a lyrical , originally monophonic and later polyphonic form of music. The meaning of the term is ambiguous and has changed over time.

history

The genre of music originated in Italy from the 13th to the 16th century, initially as a unanimous poetry. The melody followed the stanzas ( Stollen and Abgesang ) formally. Since the 14th century, kanzone (or canzona ) was the name for polyphonic secular chants and thus the Italian counterpart to French chanson .

From the rather simple Canzona alla napolitana (or Canzon Neapolitana , for example in the lute book of Octavianus Secundus Fugger ) or Canzona villanesca , the more elaborate Canzone alla francese was distinguished in the 16th century . This form of music then acquired in the transmission for organ, lute or instrumental ensemble - for example by the composers Andrea Gabrieli and Giovanni Gabrieli - as canzon da sonar, an important meaning for the development of independent instrumental music .

There were also spiritual canzons with or without text, which were referred to as canzone spirituali .

In the 17th century the term kanzone became synonymous with sonata for instrumental pieces. They are often designed in the style of a fugue with four to eight voices and are characterized by rhythmic liveliness and repetitions of notes. An example is the "Canzon post il Comune" from Girolamo Frescobaldi's Fiori musicali from 1635.

Since the 18th century, the term kanzone has mainly been used to describe a vocal or instrumental lyric piece of music.
