 Monody - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In poetry, monody is a poem in which one person laments another's death.
While some monodies were arrangements for smaller forces of the music for large ensembles which was common at the end of the 16th century, especially in the Venetian School, most monodies were composed independently.
An important early treatise on monody is contained in Giulio Caccini's song collection, Le nuove musiche (Florence, 1601).

 Music from the Renaissance and Baroque
This radical departure from the Renaissance concept of the way text should be set to music resulted in a completely different musical texture from the polyphony common during the Renaissance.
Perhaps even more than the creation of opera, the new musical texture introduced through monody ushered in an aesthetic that valued contrast and juxtaposition over seamless uniformity.
Gabrieli juxtaposes short sections that contrast vividly in terms of their performing forces (solo voice vs. double chorus; instrumental interlude vs. vocal monody) and style (free declamation vs. rhythmically regular, songlike moments).

 Children of the Church, Part 4
As wide-eyed Charlotte felt Mr Monody’s, insistent fingers press against the line of her vulva through the crotch of her knickers she gave a shocked strong inhalation of breath.
If — or rather, as she knew in her heart, when — Mr Monody instructed her to take her top off she would be just as bare as little Charlotte, but she had more to show, being twelve and starting to be attractively developed.
Much worse was to follow though as she felt a thrill of unwanted pleasure shiver through her body as Mr Monody’s fingertips caressed her slit and she felt her juices start to flow.

 Classical Music - A short history
The latter resulted in the formulation of monody for declaiming music which was at the core of early opera (Caccini, Peri) and became a vehicle for composers like Monteverdi to take forward the nascent genre of opera.
Italian opera (opera seria, opera buffa) soon dominated the early baroque style of the seventeenth century, which extended to the composition of oratorios on sacred subjects.

 A guide to opera for the beginner
Monteverdi introduced the idea of a musical line into his opera, and from this point onward monody was used to move plot forward in the form of recitative, or speech-song.
While some would argue that these two created the first operas, it is unanimously agreed that the first opera composer was Monteverdi, whose Orfeo was performed in 1607.
The first public opera house was created in Venice, Italy, in 1637-8.

 Chapter 12
Pindaric song fuses the contemporary art of monody, which is professional, into the transcendent ethic of monody, which rejects the superficial equation of khrêmata 'possessions' with self-worth.
But the anecdote about Arion suggests that the art of sympotic monody is nevertheless founded on the dynamics of material value.
So too with choral lyric poetry, as dramatized in Pindar's Isthmian2: the poem is admitting that its art is founded on the dynamics of material value, but it proclaims the intent of transcending the purely material, claiming the ethic of old- fashioned sympotic monody as a model.

 Journal of Seventeenth-Century Music Vol. 9 No. 1 Coelho: The Players of Florentine Monody in Context and in History, ...
Recent studies into the stylistic background of Caccini’s Le nuove musiche are in substantial agreement that the print is less a collection of “new musics” that suddenly shifted the paradigm, but more a validation of practices that were cultivated by amateurs and professionals throughout much of the sixteenth century.
This is corroborated by images of monody performance,
The history of Giulio Caccini’s Le nuove musiche and its role in the development of Florentine monody in general offer an instructive example of shifting attitudes in the musical historiography of the late Italian Renaissance.
