Serenade - Serenad (English spelling) serenade English

A musical term. Since the 16th century, it has meant "evening music" and has also been translated as serenade or nocturne. (1) A song sung at night by a lover's window while playing the guitar. Remains of this original usage can be seen in operas such as Mozart's Don Giovanni (1787), but since the 19th century, it has also become the title of an independent solo piece, such as Gounod's Serenade (1855). (2) An orchestral piece that was composed extensively during the Classical period, characterized by a multi-movement structure and a light character similar to a divertimento. Mozart's Eine kleine Nachtmusik (1787) and Haffner Serenade (1776) are famous. (3) A large cantata or piece of dramatic nature composed, especially during the Baroque period, to celebrate royal or aristocratic occasions or for political occasions. In this case the Italian word serenata is usually used.

Japanese:

音楽用語。16世紀以後「夕べの音楽」を意味し、小夜(さよ)曲または夜曲とも訳される。(1)夜、恋人の窓辺でギターを奏でながら歌う歌。この元来の用例の名残(なごり)はモーツァルトの『ドン・ジョバンニ』(1787)などのオペラにみられるが、19世紀以降グノーの『セレナード』(1855)のように、独立した独唱曲の標題にもなった。(2)多楽章構成とディベルティメントに似た軽い性格を特徴とする、古典派時代に盛んに作曲された管弦楽曲。モーツァルトの『アイネ・クライネ・ナハトムジーク』Eine kleine Nachtmusik(1787)や『ハフナー・セレナード』Haffner Serenade(1776)は有名。(3)とくにバロック時代に王侯貴族の慶事を祝うため、または政治的機会に作曲された大規模なカンタータ、あるいは劇的性格の曲。この場合には通例イタリア語のセレナータserenataという語が用いられる。
