What is "recitative"?
Recitative is a style of vocal music used in operas, oratorios, and other dramatic works.

Recitative often accompanies a minimal accompaniment which helps to highlight the words and the dramatic content. It serves as a bridge between the more lyrical, melodic songs and the action or dialogue in the performance.
