Melodeclamation (from the ancient Greek word μέλος “song, melody” + lat. Declamatio “exercises in eloquence”) is an artistic recitation of poems or prose using music [1] . As a trick, melodeclamation existed in opera art, but from the middle of the 18th century in Europe, melodeclamation turned into an independent concert genre - ballad lyrics ( F. Schubert , R. Schumann , F. Liszt ). In Russia, melodies were met by E. Fomin , and became widespread at the end of the XIX century ( G. Lishin , A. Arensky ).
The difference between the recitation under background music and melodeklamation is that in the melodeclamation the reader observes the rhythm of the melody, under which there is reading.
