Orchestra and the various types of orchestra could need more fleshing out. Maybe more separate sections and/or articles could be created for the various types of orchestras. For example the French and German WP have this for chamber orchestra, which could be reused for here. Maybe I can do this later or others want to pick this up. For now I created a redirect page from chamber orchestra so I can reference it from other articles (eg List of compositions by Luigi Boccherini on which I'm currently working.

The Passamezzo (Italian, also Pass'e mezzo, Passo e mezzo ) was an Italian geradtaktiger walking dance of the 16th and 17 Century, similar to the Pavane. Part of the term was used synonymously with Pavane, some of Passamezzo was a separate dance, slightly faster than the Pavane. As with the Pavane Gaillarde was also the Passamezzo regularly with a quick Nachtanz, the saltarello connected. Characteristic of the Passamezzo is the variation of the melody over a given bass line ( basso ostinato ). Were two predominant harmonic models: the Passamezzo Antico in minor and Passamezzo Moderno in major. Both models were probably formed around 1540. In the printed collections of the 16th Century about 121 pieces are titled as Passamezzo. Of which use 40 and 35, Antico Moderno scheme. In the 17th Century were almost exclusively used these two models as a basis for composition

Der Passamezzo (ital., auch Pass’e mezzo, Passo e mezzo) war ein geradtaktiger italienischer Schreittanz des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts, ähnlich der Pavane. Teils wurde der Begriff gleichbedeutend mit Pavane verwendet, teils war der Passamezzo ein eigener Tanz, etwas schneller als die Pavane. Wie die Pavane mit der Gaillarde wurde auch der Passamezzo regelmäßig mit einem schnellen Nachtanz, dem Saltarello verbunden.

Charakteristisch für den Passamezzo ist die Variation der Melodie über einer gegebenen Basslinie (Basso ostinato). Vorherrschend waren zwei harmonische Modelle: der Passamezzo Antico in Moll und der Passamezzo Moderno in Dur. Beide Modelle entstanden wahrscheinlich um 1540. In den gedruckten Sammlungen des 16. Jahrhunderts sind etwa 121 Stücke als Passamezzo betitelt. Davon verwenden 40 das Antico- und 35 das Moderno-Schema. Im 17. Jahrhundert wurden fast ausschließlich diese beiden Modelle als Kompositionsgrundlage verwendet.

Double aria

The double aria is a standard feature of 19th-century opera. In its first part, the cavatina (“cah-vah-TEEN-ah”), a character will generally express a thoughtful, somber, or sad feeling about his or her situation. Then something happens on stage. News might arrive. Another character might express an opinion, take action, or try to prevent an action. In light of this event, the first character’s feelings change. She may become decisive, angry, or happy. He may turn his thoughts to a different aspect of his situation—a more hopeful or pleasant aspect. This second emotional state is expressed in the second part of the double aria, the cabaletta (“cah-bah-LET-tah”) generally a peppier, more optimistic piece of music than the cavatina.

Double aria refers to an aria which consists of two parts. The first part, or cavatina, is usually slow and the second, or cabaletta is faster. There is often recitative between the two parts.
