Sung language

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The language sung belongs to both music and language . In the second aspect, the sung language, together with the spoken language, belongs to the oral language (orality), which is different from the written language (literacy).

features

From the side of music, the sung language is described in many ways, for example under the keywords song , aria or song . As part of orality, it is more difficult to grasp in Europe, as singing storytelling is no longer of great relevance here. In the border area between speaking and singing, a distinction must be made between various classic forms of recitative . The broader term spoken song also includes newer forms, such as rap or ragga .

Cross-border forms of artistic expression (both from music and from performance or radio play ) are experimenting again more and more with the possibilities of the sung language.
