Recitative accompagnato is best described as spoken word in rhythm accompanied by the orchestra. In operatic terminology, recitative accompagnato refers to a style of recitative that is more elaborate and is accompanied by orchestral music, providing a richer harmonic and emotional context compared to simple recitative, which is usually accompanied only by a keyboard or a small group of instruments.
