The origins may be much older than you think. The Anglo-Saxon word gleow meant GLEE, joy, music, musical accompaniment of a song, mirth, etc. FangoFuficius ( talk) 14:23, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
I would like to see more on the musical form and structure of a glee. This article discusses glee clubs in some detail but it says little or nothing about what makes a glee different from a madrigal or an aria. Even the example is not strictly speaking an example of a glee. It actually shows a poem which is used as the lyrics of a popular glee. The thing is that, without the music, the words tell us nothing. The poem could equally well be used as the lyrics for a round or even for a pop song. Could some music student give us some idea of what makes a glee different from other music genres ? I can't do it because the only glee that I am familiar with is A British Tar is a Soaring Soul and I have no idea how typical it is (although I suspect that the answer is "Not very"). -- Derek Ross | Talk 06:08, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Glee (TV series) which relates to this page. -- 65.92.180.137 ( talk) 05:03, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
