Lyricism is a term used to describe a piece of art considered to have deep emotions.[1] Its origin is found in the word lyric, derived via Latin lyricus from the Greek λυρικός (lurikós),[2] the adjectival form of lyre.[3] As a musical term, it is often employed to relate to the capability of a lyricist.

Description

Lyricism is primarily used to give a description of art that is thought to have a particularly expressive quality.[4] It is often used in conjunction with art composed of sound alone, but can apply to all forms of art, including paintings, performances,[5] poetries, architectures,[6]orfilms.[7]
