Stretto is italian, but means 'getting faster', so maybe isn't what you're looking for.

Perhaps accompagnato will do, although it usually means following the voice I think.

Learning listening online (we've bn told to use it) meaning of Stretto:Where voices or instruments enter very quickly one after the other, as in Fugue. Each entry or part enters closely after the previous part, thus adding tension and excitement

Isn't "colla voce" following the voice?

Where are our Italian forumites when we need them?

I didn't think that there was a general one that means accompanied.
Seems like a few people could learn something new here.

nah its not a general one that means accompianied,

i'll tell you all tommorow after i do the NAB

How did it go? I didn't think you needed to know one that means accompanied..? Its not in my concept book anyway! I haven't done the NABs yet but had the prelim on Monday

is it "cantabile" or am i barking up the wrong tree here

Thats in a singing style, so play it sweetly.

Maybe someone in the Viva Voice forum will know?

Petrat already had it right.

accompagnato is the term you are looking for.

From Italy, now.
Yes, MadTom has it right. "Accompagnato" (though I believe this term is rarely used). "A cappella" (mind the double "p") means without an accompaniment- This word originally described the unaccompanied singing as it was heard in a chapel (that's what "cappella" means).

I PASSED THE NAB

Great news...well done, Laura!

Well done! NABs are tedious things, but I came to have a certain fondness for them in comparison to the real exams.

Well done. And was I correct by the way?

I dont know yet!!
