Document Summary
Ensemble: organ and female voice: or voice and accompaniment- basso continuo + voice, since it"s a baroque era piece, you can always call it basso. In this case, the basso continuo is played on the organ continuo. Text: from the old testament, one of the prophecies of the coming of. Texture: homophonic, monody (pure monody, single voice + single instrument. Monody assumed homophony- it"s just a type of it) Genre: voice + accompaniment = a song, a recitative that then becomes an aria. Small orchestra (baroque orchestras tend to be small, ~15 people)- chamber ensemble. The core of the orchestra are the bowed string instruments. A multi-movement work is a piece that has many chapters within. This is like a concerto (fast movement, slow movement, fast movement) there"s 3 movements. An oratorio can have any number of movements. Lynn dawson singing rejoice greatly (in supplemental music) Piece is very melismatic- typical of baroque music.
