“You never die nor languish, but brief is the glory of your fire.”
In madrigal art, poetry and polyphonic singing were combined, and the performance of music and poetry was an essential part of every noble family's dinner entertainment. As a musical genre, the madrigal began to develop in the early 16th century, and by the end of the century, composers could be counted in the hundreds and songs in the thousands.
