In [[opera]]s and [[oratorio]]s, a '''recitative''' is a vocal passage in free [[rhythm]], accompanied most often by continuo comprised of [[harpsichord]] or [[organ]], and often with [[cello]]. Usually recitatives contain great amounts of text sung quickly, and at their end establish the [[key (music)|key]] of the more melodic [[aria]], which comes immediately after it.
