The Ballad
A ballad is a form of verse, often a narrative set to music.
Ballads were particularly characteristic of British and Irish
popular poetry and song from the later medieval period until
the 19th century and used extensively across Europe and later
North America, Australia and North Africa. Many ballads were
written and sold as single sheet broadsides. The form was often
used by poets and composers from the 18th century onwards to
produce lyrical ballads. In the later 19th century it took on
the meaning of a slow form of popular love song and the term is
now often used as synonymous with any love song, particularly
the pop or rock power ballad.
