Kraftklub is a German band whose music uses what type of expressionist vocal technique between singing and speaking where pitches are sung?
Sprechgesang Sprechgesang (] , "spoken singing") and Sprechstimme (] , "spoken voice") are expressionist vocal techniques between singing and speaking. Though sometimes used interchangeably, "Sprechgesang" is directly related to the operatic "recitative" manner of singing (in which pitches are sung, but the articulation is rapid and loose like speech), whereas "Sprechstimme" is closer to speech itself (because it does not emphasise any particular pitches).
Opera Opera (] ; English plural: "operas"; Italian plural: "opere" ] ) is an art form in which singers and musicians perform a dramatic work combining text (libretto) and musical score, usually in a theatrical setting. In traditional opera, singers do two types of singing: recitative, a speech-inflected style and arias, a more melodic style, in which notes are sung in a sustained fashion. Opera incorporates many of the elements of spoken theatre, such as acting, scenery, and costumes and sometimes includes dance. The performance is typically given in an opera house, accompanied by an orchestra or smaller musical ensemble, which since the early 19th century has been led by a conductor.
