entrée (vocale - musique)

[maayani]

Hello,

Sons recueil de Madrigaux qui sont à considérer comme des canons allant de 4 à 10 entrées.

How do we say here "entrée" in English? Just "Entry"?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, but a bit obscure ... is this music or ... ? What's the context ??

 

[maayani]

Yes, music. I don't really understand what it means here exactly "entrées".
Maybe it's like we say " "entrées des voix canoniques"?
But how do we say "entrée" in English?

4 to 10 backing vocal relays ?

I don't think we'd use the very modern term "backing vocal relays" in the context of (Renaissance/Baroque) madrigals!

In music theory, the word to refer to the different parts/lines in a canon is "voices." That's definitely the term I'd use here.

Could it be 'rounds'?

 

[jann]

No, because the "round" is the entire musical piece, not an individual part/voice. (The round is a particular sub-category of canon, one that has a comparatively simple form.)
