Cappella

Cappella(無伴奏合唱團)





According to The Harvard Dictionary of Music Fourth Edition edited by Don Randel, the term a cappella pertains to choral music without instrumental accompaniment. The word a cappella is derived from the word chapel, and until the 19th century, a cappella was applied only to sacred choral music. Although a cappella pertains to choral music without instrumental accompaniment, Grove Music Online states that “in 17th– and 18th- century Germany ‘Kapelle’ could mean either the singers and organist of a church, or the singers and instrumentalists of a court”.



根據哈佛音樂詞典第四版主編唐蘭德爾,在任期內無伴奏合唱音樂涉及到沒有樂器伴奏。無伴奏合唱一詞源於單詞教堂,直到19世紀,清唱是只適用於神聖的合唱音樂。雖然無伴奏合唱涉及到合唱音樂伴奏下,格羅夫音樂在線指出:在17和18世紀德國的卡佩勒,可能意味著無論是歌手和管風琴的教堂,或歌手和器樂法院。
