Musica Reservata
Musica reservata (also musica secreta) is generally understood as a central style / way of performing music that emerged out of the late Renaissance and early Baroque period that is affiliated with being performed for private, noble audiences. As a style, it employed the use of compositional techniques often used in seconda pratica, such as chromaticism, rhythm, expressionism, etc. It was also largely influenced by the Italian madrigal and Ancient Greek music traditions, although the academies were unsure of what music in the Ancient Greek actually sounded like.
