Aubades
An aubade is a morning love song (as opposed to a serenade, intended for performance in the evening), or a song or poem about lovers separating at dawn. It has also been defined as "a song or instrumental composition concerning, accompanying, or evoking daybreak". In the strictest sense of the term, an aubade is a song sung by a departing lover to a sleeping woman. Aubades are generally conflated with what are strictly called Alba (poetry), albas, which are exemplified by a dialogue between parting lovers, a refrain with the word ''alba'', and a watchman warning the lovers of the approaching dawn. The tradition of ''aubades'' goes back at least to the troubadours of the Provençal literature, Provençal schools of courtly love in the High Middle Ages. The aubade gained in popularity again with the advent of the metaphysical poets, metaphysical fashion in the 17th century. John Donne's poem "The Sunne Rising" exemplifies an aubade in English. Aubades were written from time to tim ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
