Word origin
The word 'serenata' originated from Italian and Spanish, ultimately derived from the Latin word 'serenus' meaning clear or bright. Originally, a serenade was a musical composition performed in the evening, typically outside, to serenade a lover or express romantic feelings. Over time, the term has broadened to encompass any musical performance given to someone, not necessarily romantic in nature.
