Abstract This introductory study traces the history of the madrigal, primarily in Italy but also in England and elsewhere in Northern Europe. Taking full account of new developments since its original publication in 1972, the book emphasizes the musical response of composers to the words of madrigal poetry and considers the literary background of the genre.
