Frottola, plural Frottole, was Italian secular song popular in the late 15th and early 16th centuries.
Frottole could be performed by unaccompanied voices or by a solo voice with instrumental accompaniment. The voice parts had narrow ranges and frequently repeated voices. Its musical style was simple, in deliberate contrast to the complexity of more sophisticated vocal music of the period.
The frottola, as it developed by 1530, was the direct antecedent of the 16th-century madrigal.
