ricercare - ricercare (Italian)

Japanese: リチェルカーレ - りちぇるかーれ(英語表記)ricercare イタリア語
ricercare - ricercare (Italian)

Various types of instrumental music from the 16th and 17th centuries. Derived from an Italian verb meaning "to explore," it is difficult to define what exactly is meant by this term, but the most important one is the imitative instrumental form that is the precursor to the fugue. The early ricercare, written in the mid-16th century, shows a style that transferred the vocal motet of the Renaissance to instrumental music, and was often for ensemble. However, pieces for keyboard instruments tried to break away from the vocal style, and Andrea Gabrieli's work in the late 16th century established the standard form of imitative ricercare with multiple themes. Frescobaldi in the 17th century established a style based on a single theme, organically relating each part through variations. This single-theme ricercare then gradually transitioned into the fugue, showing technical development.

Japanese:

16~17世紀のさまざまな型の器楽曲。「探索する」という意味のイタリア語動詞に由来し、この呼称で指示されるものも一律に規定しがたいが、もっとも重要なものはフーガの先行形態をなす模倣的器楽形式である。16世紀中葉に書かれた初期のリチェルカーレは、ルネサンス期の声楽モテットを器楽に移した様式を示し、多くの場合合奏用であった。しかし鍵盤(けんばん)楽器用の曲では声楽様式からの脱皮がくふうされ、16世紀後半のアンドレア・ガブリエリの作品で複数の主題をもつ模倣的リチェルカーレの定型が確立した。17世紀のフレスコバルディは単一主題に基づく様式を確立し、各部分を変奏で有機的に関連づけた。この単主題リチェルカーレは、その後技法的発展を示しつつしだいにフーガへ移行した。
