Monodia accompaniment - mono genre, solo singing style for one voice with instrument accompaniment.

The beginnings of the accompaniment can be found in antiquity (eg, in ancient Greek music), a similar style existed in the Middle Ages (for example, canons accompanied by lute). During the renaissance, songs and monologues were dominated by polyphonic music.

At the end of the 16th century the Italian group of musicians and scholars - the Florentine Camerata - began to promote a monodic style postulating the return to the ancient tradition, but with the basso continuo. Thus, at the turn of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries a modern monastery was built. It was a singing or singing acclamation with accompaniment of strings of string instruments (lute, chitarrone, later harpsichord). This style became the basis for the creation of great vocal forms in the Baroque period - opera, oratory, cantata. Bibliography
