Directions for questions 1 to 5 : Read
the passage and answer these question.
Although
stage plays have been set to music since the era of the ancient Greeks, when
the dramas of Sophocles and Aeschylus were accompanied by lyres and flutes, the
usually accepted date for the beginning of opera as we know it is 1600. As part of the celebration of the marriage
of King Henry IV of France to the Italian aristocrat Maria de Medici, the
Florentine composer Jacopo Peri produced his famous Euridice, generally
considered to be the first opera.
Following his example, a group
of Italian musicians, poets, and nobleman called the Cemerata began to revive
the style of musical story that had been used in Greek tragedy. The Camerata took most of the plots for
their operas from Greek and Roman history and mythology, writing librettos or
dramas for music. They called their
compositions opera in mythology, writing librettos or dramas for music. They called their compositions opera in
musica or musical works. It is from
this phrase that the word “opera” is borrowed.
For
several years, the center of opera was Florence, but gradually, during the
baroque period, it spread throughout Italy.
By the late 1600s, operas were being written and performed in Europe,
especially in England, France and Germany.
But, for many years, the Italian opera was considered the ideal, and
many non-Italian composers continued to use Italian librettos. The European form de-emphasized the dramatic
aspect. New orchestral effects and even
ballet were introduced under the guise of opera. Composers gave in to the demands of singers, writing many operas
that were nothing more than a succession of brilliant tricks for the voice. Complicated arias, recitatives, and duets
evolved. The aria, which is long solo,
may be compared to a song in which the characters express their thoughts and
feelings. The recitative, which is also
a solo, is a recitation set to music whose purpose is to continue the story
line. The duet is a musical piece
written for two voices, which may serve the function of either an aria or a
recitative.
