glossary
- canzona [I, F, E], canzone [I], canzon [I], canzona alla francese [I], canzon da sonar [I], canciona [S], canzoni [pl]—from the Italian word for "song" with several musical meanings, including a type of instrumental music from the 16th and 17th centuries originally derived from the French polyphonic song or "chanson." For solo or instrumental ensemble, the multi-part canzona featured elements of fugue and variation and eventually gave over to the early Baroque sonata such that the terms and genres became interwined for a period. The early title canzone da sonar (canzoni da sonare (pl)) (a song to be played vs. sung), likely contributed to the later term sonata. explore | wiki
