 ser·e·na·ta /ˌsɛrəˈnɑtə/

From: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

 Ser·e·na·ta Ser·e·nate n.  Mus. A piece of vocal music, especially one on an amoreus subject; a serenade.
 Or serenate, which the starved lover sings
 To his pround fair.   --Milton.
 Note: ☞ The name serenata was given by Italian composers in the time of Handel, and by Handel himself, to a cantata of a pastoreal of dramatic character, to a secular ode, etc.; also by Mozart and others to an orchectral composition, in several movements, midway between the suite of an earlier period and the modern symphony.
