This glossary has been extracted from The Radio Times Music Hand¬ book, by Percy A. Scholes, D.Litt., B.Mus., published for the British Broadcasting Corporation by the Oxford University Press, London, and has been reprinted by permission. Abendlied [Ah-bent-leed]. Evening Song. A Cappella [Ah cap-pe/-lah]. Literally, "in the church style/' i.e., conforming to the 16th-century ideal of choralism without instru¬ mental accompaniment (or, at all events, without independent in¬ strumental accompaniment). Accelerando [At-shel-ay-ran-doh] . Gradually accelerating. Adagio [Ad-ahj-yo]. Slow. Affretando [Af-fray-tan-doh], Hurrying. Alborada [Al-bo-rah-dah] . A morning song (e.g., under one's lady's window). Fancy title, sometimes applied to short, bright instru¬ mental compositions. Albumblatt [A/-boom-blatt]. Literally "Album Leaf"; hence a short instrumental composition of lighter character (such as, in the days when ladies' albums were a society nuisance, kind-hearted com¬ posers might be induced to contribute). Alla Breve [Al-lah bray-vay]. A quick kind of what looks like quadruple time, but is to be performed in duple, every two beats being, as it were, thrown into one. Alla Tedesca [Al-lah ted-ess-cah]. In the German style. Allargando [Al-lahr-gan-doh], Broadening down, i.e., getting slower and slower. Allegretto [Al-lay-gret-loh], Rather lively and bright (though it has nowadays come to mean no more than "rather quick"). Allemande [Al-mahnd]. A piece in dance rhythm, in four-beat time and of moderately lively character. It found a place in the 17th and 18th-century Suites, generally as the opening movement. 544
