A '''villanella''' was a light-hearted, generally simple type of [[Naples|Neapolitan]] [[madrigal]] popular during the 16th century. It was similar to the Italian [[frottola]] and [[English]] [[madrigal|ayre]] in that it usually consisted of a number of verses sung all to the same tune and, like them, was less [[counterpoint|contrapuntal]] than the true madrigal or [[chanson]] of the time.
