Italian term or phrase: Romanza per voce
I'm having trouble finding the English translation for "romanza a voce". The sentence is : È diventato il testo di una romanza per voce".

Wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romance_(music)) translates it a romance and states that "applied to narrative ballads in Spain, it came to be used by the 18th century for simple lyrical pieces not only for voice, but also for instruments alone." This makes me think the "per voce" is just to highlight that it is not solely instrumental, yet I unsure of how best to render it.

I hope someone can provide some clarification. Thanks.
