The
Baccanale is a genre of
traditional Italian
choral song without
instrumental
accompaniment. In most
cases it is sung by two
tenors and a bass. Most
of the anonymous song are
in a straightforward,
homophonic-syllabic
style. These songs are
often at carnival time
and are jocular in
content, with a playful,
ironic touch and they
contain many erotic
allusions. In addition to
the Italian text of the
12 settings, sometimes in
dialect, German singing
texts are also
included.
