madrigalistic

English

Adjective

madrigalistic (comparative more madrigalistic, superlative most madrigalistic)

  1. (music) Pertaining to a madrigal.
    • 2004, Ellen T. Harris, Handel as Orpheus: Voice and Desire in the Chamber Cantatas:
      Although madrigalistic and grammatical silences appear throughout Handel's cantata repertory, disruptive silence that cuts through the score and temporarily halts the flow of speech and music is a particular feature of his English set.
