Music History – Renaissance
Accompagnato recitative is a style of vocal delivery in opera that combines a more expressive and dramatic singing style with orchestral accompaniment, rather than just simple chords or continuo. This technique allows for greater emotional depth and narrative emphasis, often used in key moments of the opera to highlight important events or character developments. It stands in contrast to secco recitative, which relies primarily on keyboard or continuo instruments.
