1. Madrigal Proper: In this form, the madrigal was through-composed. It used quite a bit of word-painting, which is the matching of music to the words in the text. For example, if the text discussed going down, the musical tones might descend or if the text discussed going fast, the tempo of the music might be increased. Word-painting as a technique would carry over from the madrigal to other forms of music and to the music of later time periods 2. The Ballet: This form of madrigal was lighter in style than the madrigal proper and it was often danced to as well as sung. The ballet also differs from the madrigal proper in that it is strophic rather than through-composed. Strophic music has at least two verses set to the same music. 3. The Ayre: This form of madrigal is performed in a number of different ways, including with or without accompaniment. If accompaniment is present, the instrument used also varied, from lutes to viols to other instruments of the period. When printed, ayres were often placed on the two pages of an open book, with the music on the left and the lyrics on the right page.
