SummarySpeaking strictly in musical terms, the English madrigal is the result of assimilation. The genre generally referred to as the English madrigal was borne of the Italian madrigal form. However, just as historians no longer refer to America as the cultural melting pot, rather a tossed salad. The English madrigal caused a blur of secular Italian forms including the villanelle alla napolitana, canzonetta, villanelle, villota, moresca, greghisca, and the giustiniana. Though a new genre was created, characteristics of their predisessors remain in tact
