    Romantic Art Song

    Uploaded by

    Monique Mendoza
    The Romantic art song used music to enhance the mood and meaning of poetry. The melody was lyrical and aimed to express the emotions of the text. The piano accompaniment added more emotion by complementing the voice part harmonically, rhythmically, and melodically. Forms included through-composed, where the music followed the changing ideas of the poem, and strophic, where stanzas were set to the same or modified music.

    Romantic Art

    Song
    Lesson I
    Melody
    • The melody of the art song was poetic in nature, and its tonesd were
    more lyrical than the dramatic tonesd of an opera. An art song
    would turn written poetry into something tangible that could be felt
    through its music. Its goal was to turn specific words or phrases into
    a musical scene.
    Accompaniment
    • The piano helped add more emotion into the Romantic art
    song . The accompaniment enhanced the mood and
    meaning of the text by harmonic ,rhythmic and melodic
    material independent of the voice part.
    Form
    • 1. Through – composed- form is different for each stanza
    and the music closely follows the changing ideas and
    moods of the poem.
    • 2. Strophic – form in each stanza of the poem is set to the
    same music, whereas modified strophic form involves
    consecutive stanzas playing modified versionsof the same
    music.
    The opera fostered different national styles
    in three of Europe’s leading musical
    country- France, Germany, and Italy
    • Comic opera - is a sung dramatic work of a light or comic nature,
    usually with a happy ending and often including spoken dialogue.
    Forms of comic opera first developed in late 17th-century Italy. By the
    1730s, a new operatic genre, opera buffa, emerged as an alternative to
    opera seria.
    Serious Opera
    • Also known as the opera seria in Italy and referred to
    as Neapolitan opera mainly due to the high volume of
    the composers who were from Naples who
    contributed to this type of opera.
    Opera Semiseria
    • Opera Semiseria is an Italian genre of opera, popular in the early and
    middle 19th century. Related to the opera buffa, opera semiseria
    contains elements of comedy but also of pathos, sometimes with a
    pastoral setting. It can usually be distinguished from tragic operas or
    melodramas by the presence of a basso buffo.
    Opera Comique
    • A French opera wherein instead of singing , the
    lines are spoken. In its early form, it was satirical
    but would later have serious story line.
    Grand Opera
    • Grand opera is a genre of 19th-century opera generally in
    four or five acts, characterized by large-scale casts and
    orchestras, and lavish and spectacular design and stage
    effects, normally with plots based on or around dramatic
    historic events
    Opera Verismo
    • Verismo Is Italian for “realism”. It is a type of opera
    that emerged during the latter part of the 19th
    century. Characters were often based on everyday
    people you may meet in real life and the plot is often
    melodramatic.
