Welcome back to Between the Barlines! I am your host, Dr. Maeve Berry! I hope you are enjoying season 2, as we only have a couple episodes left talking about the Renaissance! We are going to talk about other 16th century European secular songs and composers today besides the ever popular secular form of the Italian madrigal. If you missed learning about the Italian madrigal, be sure to check out the last episode! There are several secular songs I would like to talk about today: villanella, canzonetta, balletto, lyric and narrative chansons, and consort songs.
