frottola

An early 16th-century Italian song, originating in Milan, for several voices or for solo voice and instruments, forerunner of the madrigal but less polyphonically elaborate.

The term is used in a general sense to cover numerous different forms: strambotto, oda, or capitolo, and also in a particular sense, to mean a song in several stanzas with a refrain or burden (ripresa) sung complete at the beginning and (usually) curtailed, but often with a musical extension, after each stanza; the same music serves for both refrain and stanza.
