What does GALANT mean in Scrabble?
adjective
music
Of a light, tuneful style of music that followed the baroque.
Galant was a reaction rather than a development: after decades of counterpoint the fashion turned to a single singing line over a plain accompaniment, easy on the ear and easy to play at home. It lasted a generation and fed straight into what came next, so most listeners meet the galant manner without ever meeting the word.
