Well, turning to Sanz, I can see that a Canarios is based on hemiola,
is in a major key, moving from I - IV - I - V. Not being a scholar, I
can't say with any statistical certainty whether this is definitive
across all of Spain, the New World, and the rest of Europe. But it
seems pretty common to me.
I'm not trying to be glib. I think there's plenty of interesting
material to be found in this question. I suspect there might be papers
written about individual song forms, and maybe that's what you should
be looking for. For example, I believe the Canarios did transform in
the New World, but I can't say exactly how, why, or when. I just know
I've heard versions that seem to have an American influence.
OTOH, for reference Sanz lays out the chord structures for most of the
popular hits of the era in his Alfabeto section, complete with simple
strumming patterns. So in a way, that really is a dictionary...

Hello!
Well, yes, I know they're specific forms, but it'd be intersting to
know how each is defined - a specific harmonic progression, a certain
rhythm, etca|

Well, you could try the Gaspar Sanz manuscripts :) Actually, that's
a lame joke, but in a way the definition is the music itself, no? They
are specific song forms -- but I'm sure you know that. You might be
looking for the history of each one? That would indeed be interesting.

Hi all!
Could anyone advise where I might find definitions of the terms
'Canarios', 'Marionas', and so on? Google is no help :(
Thanks!
