Lyricism is a term used to describe a piece of art with deep feelings or emotions.[1] Its origin is found in the word lyric derived via Latin lyricus from the Greek λυρικός (lurikós),[2] the adjectival form of lyre.[3] As a musical term, it is often used to describe the capability of a Lyricist.
Description
Lyricism is primarily used to describe art that is thought to have a particularly expressive quality.[4] It is often used in conjunction with art composed of sound alone, but can apply to all forms of art, including paintings, performance,[5] poetry, architecture,[6] or film.[7]
