Cantabile
Cantabile is a term in music meaning to perform in a singing style. The word is taken from the Italian language and literally means "singable" or "songlike". In instrumental music, it is a particular style of playing designed to imitate the human voice. The German-language equivalent to cantabile is gesangvoll. For 18th-century composers, ''cantabile'' is often synonymous with "cantando" (singing) and indicates a measured tempo and flexible, legato playing. For later composers, particularly in piano music, ''cantabile'' is the drawing out of one particular musical line against the accompaniment (compare counterpoint). Felix Mendelssohn's six books of '' Songs Without Words'' are short lyrical piano pieces with song-like melodies written between 1829 and 1845. A modern example is an instrumental piece by Harry James & His Orchestra, called "Trumpet Blues and Cantabile". A cantabile movement, or simply a "cantabile", is the first half of a double aria In music, an aria (, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
