Pastoral
The pastoral genre of literature, art, or music depicts an idealised form of the shepherd's lifestyle - herding livestock around open areas of land according to the seasons and the changing availability of water and pasture. The target audience is typically an urban one. A pastoral is a work of this genre. A piece of music in the genre is usually referred to as a pastorale.
The genre is also known as bucolic, from the Greek βουκολικόν, from βουκόλος, meaning a cowherd.
