Baroque Agead

Tu se morta is a piece render by Orpheus accompanied by a basso continuo after he is told of Eurydices decease. Orpheus wants to bring her back from Hell as he offers a distressed goodbye to the earth, sky and sun. The style of singing is simple and think to bring a dramatic delivery to the audience. The vocal line is rhythmically free and the phrases argon more irregular. The song is flexible because it is suggesting a pathetic and passionate farewell to the person he loves. To express this farewell, the song reaches the end several(prenominal) different times and then drops away.Didos mourn is too accompanied by a basso continuo and has a lamentable setting as well. The song opens with a descend chromatic line, the aim bass, which is repeated eleven different times throughout the piece. Dido repeats Remember Me several times as well also reaches the highest n nonpareil of the aria. The dynamics were eternal and not notated and the tempi were slow and constant. The woman w ho sang the song portrays a relentless and sorrowful biliousness for the tender. The song comes to a conclusion with a descending violin melody which expresses the tragedy.There are several similarities in these pieces. One of the chief(prenominal) similarities is that twain songs give the listener a haunting, sorrowful, distressed and sad feeling. Although 1 song is expressing the sorrow of a loved ones death and the different is expressing the tragedy of ones fate they both localize off a sad vibe. They both at one rouse or another reach a climax and then drop, which keeps the listener entertained and interested in the song. Tu se morta and Didos Lament are both accompanied by a basso continuo.Last but not least, the texture of both of these pieces is homophonic. The main difference, in my opinion, is how different they sound from one another because one is sung by a female and the other by a male. The deep, powerful voice of Orpheus as he sung Tu se morta compared to the high, thrill voice of the female who sung Didos Lament sticks a whole new outlook on the songs. Even though both songs give a haunting feeling to the listener barely the fact that one is a female and the other is male changed the caprice slightly.In my opinion, it is hard to point out many differences. All in all, both pieces were interesting. The intensity of both Tu Se Morta and Didos Lament were compelling and put the listener in the exact mood that they were portraying. Haunting, sorrowful, sad and depressed was the mood I felt after listening to both. Personally, Didos Lament was my pet out of the two. Her chromatic notes which created tension and stress kept the song bewitching and the want to hear more. In conclusion, both pieces were wonderful, but Dido Lament was absolutely amazing to the ears
