Sentences with BALADA (4)
The Portuguese nobles, with King Diniz (reigned 1279-1325) at their head, filled the idle hours of their bloody and passionate lives by composing strangely abstract, conventional poems of love and religion in the manner of the Provençal _canso, dansa, balada_ and _pastorela_, which had had such a luxuriant growth in Southern France in the eleventh and twelfth centuries.
What is a Ballad?+ The earliest sense of the word ‘ballad,’ or rather of its French and Provençal predecessors, _balada_, _balade_ (derived from the late Latin _ballare_, to dance), was ‘a song intended as the accompaniment to a dance,’ a sense long obsolete.[1] Next came the meaning, a simple song of sentiment or romance, of two verses or more, each of which is sung to the same air, the accompaniment being subordinate to the melody.
The narrative Romance existed in Provençal as well as the _balada_ or three-stanza poem, usually with refrain.
The scientific and melodious figures of the Ballade, the Rondeau, the Chant-royal, the Rondel, and the Villanelle, cannot by any ingenuity be deduced from Canso or Balada, Retroensa or Breu-Doble.
