Handel, Giulio Cesare (1724): opera seria
Recitative--aria
More like recitation, less melody, moves very quickly ("secco" or simple recitative) NOT INCLUDED with example
Aria: "La giustizia" -- da capo form -- unison violins and continuo "revenge aria".
One of many types of affects depicted by da capo arias
(ready for vengeance) high notes on "punire" ornamentation on da capo makes it less a repetition and more of a heightening (racheting up) of intensity.
