| | Recitative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Recitative, a form of composition often used in operas, oratorios, cantatas and similar works, is described as a melodic speech set to music, or a descriptive narrative song in which the music follows the words. | | | The "recitativo" style of singing was not abandoned completely in pop culture: in fact raps, when using the ancient musical terminology, could be correctly described as "recitativo accompagnato". | | | The word has sometimes been used in relation to parts of purely instrumental works which resemble vocal recitatives (passages in Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 17 (The Tempest) and Piano Sonata No. 31 are examples). |

| | TITLE |
| | Monteverdi’s recitative, as expressive as it was, lacked musical structure. | | | The ritornelli that often break the recitative serve as a "perfect ballast" to recitative’s awkwardness and form together with the recitative an organic musical whole whose a structure possesses an ability to convey emotion similarly to aria. | | | Clearly, Monteverdi’s musical idiom stands in contrast to the "number opera." Mozart’s use of this form is, however, not as rigorous as a cursory glance at the libretto would indicate. |

| | Performance practice: Plain recitative in Bach's vocal works |
| | The second movement is a recitative for violin, a very elaborate one. | | | As recitative notation and other accompanimental practice grew from this mostly improvisational art, it was simply a swap of one shorthand for another without getting much more specific on paper. | | | It is the way I choose to play continuo in plain recitative in the Bach vocal works: both from the set of sources noted above, and (at least as importantly) from practical experience in the music. |

| | recitative -- Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust! |
| | Recitative style gradually began to separate from lyrical aria style. | | | The earliest significant form of monody, recitative developed in the late 1500s in opposition to the polyphonic, or many-voiced, style of 16th-century choral music. | | | It remains basic to operatic composition; the presence of recitative (as opposed to spoken dialogue) most clearly distinguishes opera from the musical and related genres. |

| | Indeed, the conventions of theatrical music and of musical performance in the theater were linked inextricably to the history of the romance as a musical and poetic genre. | | | Palas and Mercury, in a different manner than the mortals, began their conversation in a recitative style [un estilo recitatibo], which, being a mixture of declamation and music, was neither really music nor declamation, being rather an entoned consonance, accompanied by the choir of instruments. | | | In the latter mode of performance, the romances were declaimed or recited with simple melodies to occasionally polyphonic but mostly chordal accompaniments played on the vihuela and, later, on the Spanish guitar. |

| | Journal of Seventeenth-Century Music Vol. 9 No. 1 Hill: Beyond Isomorphism toward a Better Theory of Recitative |
| | In this example, Peri’s recitative (audio 3b) is notably close to the recorded speech (audio 3a), and where the two diverge—as at the word “stilla” and at Peri’s ascending scale segments on “dell’infinito mare” and “che di dolcezza”—the spoken version could have conformed to Peri’s setting with little difficulty. | | | Nevertheless, certain musical intervals are approximated by speech, he believes, as for example the rising perfect fifth by the word “verrò” under specific circumstances. | | | As for rhythm, Galilei’s idea, learned from Mei, that ancient Greek recitational singing followed the rhythms of speech rather than those of measured music seems to have been stated as an implied prescription for modern singing. |

| | Musical Forms - Recitative |
| | The carefully notated declamation of early recitative was replaced by a more rapid, even delivery notated mainly in quavers/eighth-notes (a trend taken further in late 18th-century opera buffa). | | | The 'stile recitativo' was linked with the Florentine Camerata's development, in the late 16th century, of a style with a precise rhythmic notation, harmonic support, a wide melodic range and affective (emotionally charged) treatment of the words. | | | With the continuous texture of opera and oratorio in the 19th century, recitative disappeared as an independent form while remaining an essential means of expression for passages in a libretto for which lyrical treatment was inappropriate. |

| | recitative (rĕs'ĭtətēv`), musical declamation for solo voice, used in opera and oratorio for dialogue and for narration. | | | Wagner, opposed to the Italian type of recitative, developed a continuous declamation in which the melody was completely molded to the text, upon which the accompaniment served as a sort of commentary. | | | Schoenberg, about 1900, devised a species of half-pitched declamation called Sprechgesang, since used by other composers. |

| | In the First Recitative-Chorus, Haydn – not following Van Swieten's prescription to assign the solos in recitatives to "Ein Engel" ("an angel"), keeping the same voice type for the entire recitative[42] - employed three vocal textures: solo bass (Raphael), chorus, and solo tenor (Uriel). | | | Haydn's choice of vocal forces and their particular order of appearance in the First Recitative-Chorus matches the sound shape of vowel colorations: | | | This local color-wave is reflected on the global level by Haydn's choice of voice types. |

| | In an opera, oratorio, cantata, or other multi-movement vocal compositions, a recitative is a narrative song that describes some action, thought, or emotion. | | | The recitative follows the natural flow of the language, and is more a speaking composition than a singing composition. | | | The two styles of recitative are the dry (secco) style and the accompanied (stromentato, or accompagnato) style. |
