Italian Opera Rossini, Donizetti and Bellini. All three composers were renowned for compositions in the ‘Bel Canto’ (beautiful singing) style of long and smooth melodies. These melodic lines were often very difficult to sing.

chromaticism, harmonies, Wagner & Verdi chromaticism, harmonies, orchestration and the use of leitmotifs unashamedly for popular appeal, full of excellent, melodic arias and choruses

Song Cycle A group of songs linked by a common theme or text Usually accompanied by piano Can be accompanied by small ensemble or orchestra

Choral Music Oratorio and Mass were still popular
