Madrigals (plus "lighter forms")



This page should be quite large, with a vast amount of music available, when finished. I'm regenerating all the pieces to have the latest "house style" templates.

The "lighter forms" refers to Einstein's categorization of 17c lighter secular music--frottole early on, followed by later villanellas, canzonettas, etc. I'll separate things out by composer.

Madrigals:
