In
poetry, the term monody has become specialized to refer to a poem in which one person laments another's death. (In the context of
ancient Greek literature, monody, could simply refer to lyric poetry sung by a single performer, rather than by a chorus.)In music, monody has two meanings: 1) it is sometimes used as a synonym for
monophony, a single solo line, in opposition to
homophony and
polyphony; and 2) in music history, it is a solo vocal style distinguished by having a single
melodic line and instrumental accompaniment. Although such music is found in various cultures throughout history, the term is specifically applied to
Italian song of the early
17th century, particularly the period from about 1600 to 1640. The term is used both for the style and for individual songs (so one can speak both of monody as a whole as well as a particular monody). The term itself is a recent invention of scholars: no composer of the 17th century ever called a piece a monody. Compositions in monodic form might be called
madrigals,
motets, or even
concertos (in the earlier sense of "
concertato", meaning "with instruments").
