5/27/2023 0 Comments Malayalam Light Music LyricsStainer and Barrett used the word as a singular substantive: " Lyric, poetry or blank verse intended to be set to music and sung". "words set to music"-eventually led to its use as "lyrics", first attested in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. The personal nature of many of the verses of the Nine Lyric Poets led to the present sense of " lyric poetry" but the original Greek sense of "lyric poetry"-"poetry accompanied by the lyre" i.e. Greek lyric poetry had been defined by the manner in which it was sung accompanied by the lyre or cithara, as opposed to the chanted formal epics or the more passionate elegies accompanied by the flute. It first appeared in English in the mid-16th century in reference to the Earl of Surrey's translations of Petrarch and to his own sonnets. The word lyric derives via Latin lyricus from the Greek λυρικός ( lurikós), the adjectival form of lyre.
