What Is An Aria? (Music Appreciation)

[@Cristoesmirey7]

I really, really enjoyed this video!! It´s very complete, an has very clear information. I would like to lear more about generes like the suite, the sonata, theme with variations, etc, and also about music textures!! Thanks for your collaboration!! greetings from Colombia

[@Cristoesmirey7]

Ohh thats great!, I am already subscribed to your channel, can you please pass me the link from the lectures that talks about the topics I suggested?! Thanks you very much!!

[@Texas_Painter]

Your videos may be the only reason I pass my music appreciation class online...thank you for making these videos. My teacher knows her Sh!t but does not teach with videos she just wants us to read a billion different things. It’s info overload to the point I can’t retain any of it. Not being a music major nor a history major because of a lack of interest this is difficult to learn solely from reading. These videos are helping me tremendously!! Thank you!

[@virginiavilcinskas5109]

What a great video! I recently rescued an abused Doberman. She came with the name Aria. I couldn’t comprehend how someone who abused an animal could possibly have used such a beautiful word. Aria my beautiful Dobergirl and I love listening to arias. Just had to tell someone. 💕

[@marymenant9661]

Thank you for this video. I am a college student and music appreciation is a required class for my teaching degree in Education. I don't know anything about music. I am grateful for people like yourself for making videos for those who need to learn and understand the contents of knowledge with easy and understanding. I would like to see more videos from the contents of the music appreciation class. Thank you again.

aria (n.) "melody for a single voice," from Italian aria, literally "air" (see air (n.1)). Historically considered, the aria marks a single moment in the course of a dramatic action. The text often consists of but a few words, many times repeated (as we find in Handel's oratorios, etc.), and the musical development is the main thing. The opposite of aria is recitative (q.v.), in which the declamation of the syllables is the main thing, colored, perhaps, by means of clever orchestration. [W.S.B. Mathews and Emil Liebling, "Dictionary of Music," 1896]

[@CleisonRodriguesComposer]

Great video! I'm learning English, and your pronunciation is very good for me to learn. I'm learning a lot about music with your channel. You're going to help me a lot with my compositions. Thank you! Greetings from Brazil!

So an aria is basically a solo.

[@savagesnayle301]

Wish had found this series some years ago. Well done, a very accessible introduction to the 'behind the scenes' side of music.

[@deea9142]

What a fantastic tutorial. You did such a fabulous job with the explanation and the optics. Loved the learning objectives provided at the beginning, the ethnic diversity and pacing throughout and the wrap up at the end. We'll done!

[@urboyaidennnn]

(: this is awesome keep it up. Very informative and I like how it's visualized. This is awesome keep it up!!

[@juliamavroidi8601]

Great video, but it might have been helpful to include an example of a recitative to help distinguish the two.

[@PeteJermyn-gu6sm]

An intro do the major new movements in contemporary opera would be very cool!

[@UnderstandingMusic]

Definitely a great idea! Thank you for commenting, and be sure to check out my other content as well as subscribe! Appreciate you!

[@arsantiqua8741]

air on the g string was bach's work. the name actually refers to whilhemj's arrangement. the original one is just called aria

[@octaciliolinoneto4520]

Thank you for your videos, I'm a student of music in Brazil and it's really hard to understand this kind of things even if you read in some books. things like sonata, aria, suite and others.

[@lucysilva2023]

Great explanations!

[@jinghu3998]

Hi could you please do more videos like this on forms like recitatives, minuet and trios, scherzos and air with variations? I really liked this format, please keep it up!

[@cestlina]

Liked and Subscribed. Thank you very much.

[@predovilela]

The Goldberg Variations’ Aria, as performed by Glenn Gould, is two times an aria

[@reecenix]

Please come back and do a whole Praxis 5114 playlist. You’d do great at it you’re fun to watch.

[@notquiteyoung]

finally!! i don't have to keep asking my brother what an aria is!!

[@tturing5698]

Very well made video! Bravo!

[@damoon57]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@Legotankt34]

I shall now attempt to write an aria for guitar with this knowledge. Fare thee well.

[@elizabethlau644]

Nice video..........Learn a lot...........Thanks !

[@Edward-bm7vw]

I'm obviously biased but nothing tops Wagner! Have never heard anyone convey such powerful emotions via music as well as him

[@Ziess1]

Try the Red Army Choir ;)

[@waldoadams1611]

Please do a video on the evolution of the modern pop song

[@jorgequeiroz7184]

Keep up the good work!

[@wizlinkx]

Thank you for this very informative video. History I didn't know

[@francoluigi00]

Awesome video! Thank you...

[@assassin01620]

This gives me a new perspective on "This Day Aria" because its sung by one person in reality, but in the show it is sung by 2 people with one being an impostor/clone of the other one. I find that to be kind of interesting...

[@briannaoyoung2050]

Music of the Romantic and Classical period

[@GarrettMusic1]

Have you covered anything on renaissance period? also would love to learn about viking music :) thank you

[@ellyreads4886]

Would you make a video about the development of Western music and singing ?

[@Bruno-hd9qo]

That' sounds almost like a platonic dialogue lol. I mean "what a hammer is? if a say the word hammer, what comes up your mind? everyone has his/her own idea for a hammer but its not really a hammer SO same thing for arias" : D nothing more platonic hehe peace from brazil. Love your videos. I'm binge watching them. You should monetize them bro.

[@Bruno-hd9qo]

How noble of you. I can only thank you. Best wishes.

[@satellitelazarus]

Will you talk about the Beauty and the Beast (live action) music? There is so much I hear in the music and score that I want to learn more about.

[@OnlyMozart1]

6:04 ...with some exceptions, like "Ah! chi mi dice mai" fron Don Giovanni.

Recicative :D

[@ampulist]

Beat me by 6 days! Mispronunciation surely damages the legitimacy of educational videos. Or maybe it was intentional in pointing to the resuscitative effect of recitatives, who knows..

[@anhthiensaigon]

Thank you so much for the educational video. I have a question, is it correct to say a guitar solo on a looped chord progression an instrumental aria?

[@gingercore69]

damn, i wish i could sing the last one O_o amazing!

[@keigoakaitokei_itochan-nel995]

Is Disney songs considered as Aria too?

[@UnderstandingMusic]

Great question! Some Disney songs are solos that focus on communicating the inner thoughts of a character so they are like arias. Others are duets and ensemble pieces. Disney songs tend to be shorter than most arias and are closer to folk or pop songs in structure. Thank you for commenting, and please consider subscribing if you haven't already.

[@keigoakaitokei_itochan-nel995]

@UnderstandingMusic thank you for the answer... What about Indila's songs?

[@UnderstandingMusic]

Such songs have a long tradition of using a handful of forms (such as 32-bar form) that usually express a single emotion or tell a brief but emotionally-charged story. While such songs share some characteristics with arias, arias are usually slightly longer and in the style of operatic singing (very dramatic, no electronic amplification [microphones].) There is the Art Song, which I havea video one, that sort of bridges the gap between opera and pop songs.

[@keigoakaitokei_itochan-nel995]

@@UnderstandingMusic ah... So basically all Arias are sung with Head voice? I mean operatic style vocal

[@UnderstandingMusic]

@keigoakaitokei_itochan-nel995 for the most part, yes. It is not just because of tradition and projection. It is also for endurance, and ease on the vocal cords. Opera singers have to sing much longer than most pop concerts last, and the ranges, they have to sing, usually exceed those of most folk and pop singers. So the way that they sing is designed for such.

[@jurgenschmidt2974]

Hey, I'm relatively new to all of this and recently started to learn, i've been trying to understand aria and madrigal and according to wiki aria slowly replaced madrigal.. but i do not understand the difference. Can you explain it please?

[@jurgenschmidt2974]

@@UnderstandingMusic Thank you so much for taking the time to explain! This was very helpful :)

[@Yongle96]

nice video, but.. at 2:15, the composer is "giulio caccini" (one n, not two), and the title of his collection "le nuove musiche" should be read properly.. classical musical terms and most operas are in italian, so it would be nice to get the correct pronunciation.

[@StephenJackson1958]

"Granddad: who is this self-regarding creature, strutting like an out-take from James Whale's 1931 'Frankenstein'? Was he big when you could still chew your own food? Tell me he's not here any more, please... Granddad? Granddad: why is he on here?" "No, Sweetheart: mercifully nobody remembers Uncle Simon, anymore. Bad dreams aside, I think you'd like this rather excellent video." 😉

[@QuikVidGuy]

Is using recitative to refer to non-rhyming dialogue (duet or above) incorrect? My voice class professor is an opera singer and this is how she defined it, but is this an incidental meaning, because dialogue often has quieter accompaniment?

[@QuikVidGuy]

immensely

[@jaybonn5973]

Ok says someone was playing two characters, different personalities and share one song, could you still call that an aria because its the same voice with an orchestra accompaniment

[@S.Lijmerd]

Yes because the schizophrenic mind is expressing its thoughts, but that rarely ever happens that a charcter has two roles and sing the same aria.

[@theravenskeeper2849]

I have a question, actually. So, the reason I actually was looking for this kind of video is because of a song that I love. Don't judge me please... "This day" Aria, by Princess Cadence. It's my little pony. Okay. Make fun of me. I don't care. But I love this song because it's pretty, and it describes her feelings (and the villain's feelings who took her form). My question would be, could you please listen to that song (and maybe watch the show clip to understand what's going on) and tell me if it truly is an aria? Please and thank you. You can make fun of me and tear your hair out after. 😂 😅

Bach NEVER called the air/aria from Orchestral Suite No 3 "Air on a G string" and that ridiculous name should be stricken from the world. It came from a rather goofy 19th Century violinist who turned the piece into a circus stunt by playing the tune on the bottom G string of his violin. It has zero to do with Bach and the magnificent piece it comes from.

Your Italian pronunciation is literally A DISASTER.... Giulio Caccini Le Nuove Musiche...ask italians to say it and listen...
