Abstract
The Czech composer Bohuslav Martinů (1890-1959) looked to the past for inspiration for many of his works. Although Baroque forms were most often used, there exist seven madrigal compositions: three for unaccompanied choir,
České Madrigaly
,
Five Czech Madrigals
, and
Madrigaly
; and four for various instrumental ensembles,
Quatre Madrigaux
,
Madrigal-Sonata
,
Five Madrigal Stanzas
, and
Three Madrigals
. The author gives an overview of Martinů's use of Baroque forms and discusses the compositions titled madrigal, calling attention to the composer's use of modes, folk rhythms and free polyphony. The study concludes with a comparison of Martinů's madrigals to those of the Renaissance.
