Madrigal · Comedy

****

Madrigal · Comedy(:Madrigal comedy ) Is a word that sings continuously (usually) of entertainment music of the 16th century, talks (usually) a story, and sometimes vaguely also has a drama line. It was one of the things that pioneered the idea, and in the 20th century devised this phrase.

Madrigal song collection "Well Women's Well End Conference" was a madrigal · comedy which made a comic story as a whole. In the subsequent Madrigal · comedy, it is sometimes divided into each act, including prologue, while while the opera has not yet divided the curtains, the madrigal · comedy is played on a background with a background drawing a strange picture There seems to be a woodcut print depicting the prologue of "(Ranfi Parnaso" (, for example), behind a singer wearing a costume there is a background drawing the street of the town ). The instruction of Vecchi written on the score is not about how the singer plays, but about what reaction the audience takes with imagination. Vecchi calls audiences on a prologue.

"	I will talk about spectacles, please everyone, please imagine in your mind, please see with your ears instead of eyes, so please be quiet."

Madrigal · Comedy has gained popularity only in Italy from the 1590s to 1602 ~ 1603, but when opera appeared, the enthusiasm retreated at once. Likewise, Madrigal of A. Capella disappeared somewhere and it disappeared. The music of Madrigal · comedy was light and the story was always funny.

Composers such as Alessandro Striggio, Giovanni Croce and Olazio Vecchi are major composers of the Madrigal comedy.
