8/6/2023 0 Comments Da capo ariaThis was an age when operas were chopped up and reassembled to suit differing tastes, arias from one opera could be shoved into another (with or without the composer's permission). They had little concept of creating a coherent whole because there was no guarantee it would be performed anyway. This aria jigsaw had one major effect on most operas of this period: a composer's control over an opera was limited to individual arias. If that all seems faintly ludicrous to you then we agree, and to top it off almost every aria was in one musical form: da capo (which we’ll explore below).
