About division
In music, division refers to a type of ornamentation or variation common in 16th- and 17th-century music in which each note of a melodic line is "divided" into several shorter, faster-moving notes, often by a rhythmic repetition of a simple musical device such as the trill, turn or cambiata on each note in turn, or by the introduction of nonchord tones or arpeggio figures. The English term 'division' broadly corresponds to the contemporary usage of passaggio in Italian, diferencia or glosa in Spanish, and double in French.
