註釋

The madrigal comedies examined in this study, the complete repertoire of such works as far as can be determined, were written only in Italy, and there by only four composers: Alessandro Striggio, Giovanni Croce, Orazio Vecchi, and Adriano Banchieri. The total number of known madrigal comedies is fifteen; these were published during a period of sixty-one years, from 1567 to 1628. The comedies range in voicing from three vocal parts to ten; the most common being three or five voices. Only one comedy, La Prudenza giovenile by Banchieri, was designated to be acted--the others were to be performed without any staging at all. The madrigal comedies are essentially a cappella compositions; in only four comedies is it indicated that instruments should accompany the singers.
