Italian madrigals are typically sung a cappella in multiple parts, usually four to six voices. They are secular vocal compositions that are characterized by expressive and emotive text settings, often featuring word painting. Italian madrigals are known for their varied musical forms, use of chromaticism, and intricate contrapuntal textures.
The Italian madrigal led to the development of the English madrigal, but the main difference is the language
"Madrigal" in English is madrigal in French and madrigale in Italian.
An English madrigal is typically lighter in style than an Italian madrigal, often focusing on pastoral themes and word painting. Italian madrigals are more complex harmonically and emotionally expressive, with a greater emphasis on textural and chromatic experimentation. Additionally, English madrigals are more likely to feature simple, syllabic word setting compared to the more elaborate word painting found in Italian madrigals.
