I want to know the answer to the following question:
Monody, the madrigal comedy, and intermedio are all precursors to what?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The principal liturgical forms which endured throughout the entire Renaissance period were masses and motets, with some other developments towards the end, especially as composers of sacred music began to adopt secular forms (such as the madrigal) for their own designs.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
