From the Latin word serenus meaning "serenity, a serenade is a
 musical composition and/or performance in someone's honor,
 originally songs of courtship, but evolving later into sophisticated
 musical works. Serenades of the eighteenth and nineteenth
 centuries were more than likely written in a light mood and usually
 for an evening's entertainment.
