I have confidence Recitative section

  • In the recitative section Maria is allowed to use speech rhythms/ be melismatic.
  • The beginning of the recitative section is chromatic and has accented notes. For example they play a lower auxiliary note and an E#.
  • The bassline is not complex.
  • There is only one time when Maria isn't singing and this is where there is a rising modulation to show Maria's rising mood.
