WHAT DOES PART SONG MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Part song

A part song is a form of choral music which consists of a secular song which has been written or arranged for several vocal parts, commonly SATB choir, but also for an all-male or all-female ensemble. It is usually primarily homophonic, with the highest part carrying the melody and the other voices supplying the accompanying harmonies, rather than contrapuntal like a madrigal. Part songs are intended to be sung unaccompanied unless an instrumental accompaniment is specified. The part song in Great Britain grew from, and gradually superseded, the earlier form of the Glee as well as being particularly influenced by the choral works of Felix Mendelssohn. This was linked with the growth of choral societies during the 19th Century which were larger groups than glee clubs had been. Early British composers of part songs include R. J. S. Stevens, Henry Smart and George Macfarren, who was renowned for his Shakespeare settings.
