The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The polyphonic madrigal is unaccompanied, and the number of voices varies from two to eight, but the form usually features three to six voices, whilst the metre of the madrigal varies between two or three tercets, followed by one or two couplets.
- Unlike verse-repeating strophic forms sung to the same music, most madrigals are through-composed, featuring different music for each stanza of lyrics, whereby the composer expresses the emotions contained in each line and in single words of the poem being sung.
- Madrigals written by Italianized Franco–Flemish composers in the 1520s partly originated from the three- to four-voice frottola, partly from composers' renewed interest in poetry written in vernacular Italian, partly from the stylistic influence of the French chanson, and from the polyphony of the motet.
