This study details the role of genre enhancement and genre upgrading in four parodies by Thomas Morley. These four parodies, first published in Morley's The First Book of Balletts to Five Voices (1595), are based on villanelles from Luca Marenzio's collection I cinque libri di Canzonette, Villanelle et arie alla Napolitana a tre voci (1584-1585). Through the application of specific techniques, Morley transformed Marenzio's villanelles into parodies that, according to Morley's treatise A Plain and Easy Introduction to Practical Music, are higher in the genre hierarchy than their respective models. Comparative analyses will reveal the techniques of genre enhancement and genre upgrading at work in Morley's parodies.
