单词	melisma
释义	melisma /mɪˈlɪzmə / noun (plural melismas or melismata /mɪˈlɪzmətə/) Music A group of notes sung to one syllable of text: the melismas of plainchant [mass noun]: the most poetic words can be given more emotive power by using melisma... The opulent, yet bright orchestration and the chromatic melismata around the tritone and the melodic minor scale all point toward the composer of Schelomo. A successful production of Poppea depends not upon operatic voices but upon singing actors who can color their voices and make drama out of the expressive melismas and coloratura. The melisma is a transposition of the notes E, F, C and B, and it appears frequently throughout the work. Derivatives melismatic /mɛlɪzˈmatɪk/ adjective ... The musical style of these songs varies from simple, syllabic melodies to elaborately flowing compositions modelled on melismatic plainchant. The swooping and soaring melody, very Eastern in its melismatic cut, is punctuated and embellished by the other three string instruments and by the piano. Bach writes the subject in one huge, melismatic (many notes per syllable) arc, and you're not supposed to break the line by gulping in air. Origin Late 19th century: from Greek, literally 'melody'.
