Lauda (noun, Italian) &ndash, The principal genre of non-liturgical religious song in Italy during the late
Middle Ages and Renaissance. In its monophonic form, the lauda also constitutes the primary Italian
repertory of late medieval vernacular song, and is distinguished from most neighboring repertories
in its strictly urban, non-courtly context. The religious lauda endured into the 19th century, and
extant repertory remains an important source of popular Italian texts and music.
