CANTO (from the Lat. cantus, a song)

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 218 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAL-CAR
CANTO (from the Lat. cantus, a song) , one of the divisions of a
long
  poem, a convenient division when poetry was more usually sung by the minstrel to his own accompaniment than read. In music, the
canto
 , iii a concerted piece, is that
part
  to which theair is given. In
modern
  music this is nearly always the soprano. The old masters, however, more frequently allotted it to the
tenor
 .
Canto
  fermo, or cantus Jirmus, is that
part
  of the melody which remains true to the
original
 
motive
 , while the other parts vary with the counterpoint; also in
Church
  music the simple straight-forward melody of the old chants as opposed to canto figurato, which is full of embellishments of a florid
character
  (see PLAIN SONG).
