A lyrical movement or piece for solo voice with instrumental
accompaniment is called a/an
A. ostinato. C. operetta.
B. aria. D. chorus.
B. aria but let someone else check just in case
I'll be glad to check your answer.
B is a partial definition of ar1a. However, not every solo vocal piece with instrumental accompaniment is an aria. Arias refer to solo vocal pieces in an opera or operetta. There were many Grammies awarded last weekend to solo songs that were not arias.
hey my name is aria
The correct answer is B. aria.
To arrive at this answer, let's break down the question:
The question is asking for the term that describes a lyrical movement or piece for solo voice with instrumental accompaniment.
An "ostinato" is a musical term referring to a repeating musical pattern or rhythm. While it can be used in vocal music, it does not specifically describe a lyrical movement or piece for solo voice with instrumental accompaniment, so A. ostinato is incorrect.
An "operetta" is a genre of light opera that originated in the 19th century. While an operetta often includes solo vocal pieces with instrumental accompaniment, it is not solely focused on solo voice, so C. operetta is incorrect.
A "chorus" is a group of singers who typically sing together in a larger musical work. While a chorus can have instrumental accompaniment, it does not refer to a solo voice with instrumental accompaniment, so D. chorus is incorrect.
Finally, an "aria" is a musical term that refers to a solo vocal piece in an opera, oratorio, or cantata. It is typically a lyrical piece that showcases the vocal abilities of the soloist and is accompanied by instruments. Therefore, B. aria is the correct term that describes a lyrical movement or piece for solo voice with instrumental accompaniment.
