In this chat, we explore the principal musical form of the Baroque period: the "Da Capo" Aria. A theoretically "simple" number in ABA form, in the hands of a great composer it comes in many different shapes and sizes, and turns out to be as flexible a means of music characterization and expression as anything invented before or since. And once you know what to expect and how these ariass operate, an entire world of spectacular entertainment will be yours for the listening.
