Question 6 • Music Appreciation: The Enjoyment of Listening (IS)

Pedro has been assigned a project where he has to write a song in the style of a Renaissance song. He has chosen to write a madrigal. What is one thing he can do to MOST accurately represent a madrigal in his piece?

Answer
A
He can use verses from a popular poem for his lyrics.
B
He can use just one single voice in his composition.
C
He can allow only women’s voices to sing his piece.
D
He can repeat the chorus many times in the song.

Explanation

Madrigals were Renaissance vocal pieces that often set secular poetry to music. Using verses from a popular poem would therefore help Pedro represent the style. A madrigal typically uses several interweaving vocal parts, so one voice alone is less characteristic; it is not limited to women’s voices or defined by repeating a chorus.
