Everything about Number Music totally explained
A
number in
music is a self-contained piece that's combined with other such pieces in a performance. In a concert of popular music, for example, the individual songs or pieces performed are often referred to as "numbers." The term is applied also to sections of large vocal works (such as
opera,
oratorio, or
musical) when the written or printed
score for such a work designates the titles of the pieces with sequential numbers, hence the aptness of the term. The use of numerical designations in extended vocal musical works has the practical advantage of facilitating rehearsal plans, especially when their designations include assignment of characters.
The term "number opera" is used to distinguish such a work from an opera that doesn't easily, if at all, divide into easily extractable pieces, such as
Wagner's music dramas. Nevertheless, it should be understood that, despite the fact that a composer may apply a designation of scenes or numbers in an opera, the musical flow isn't necessarily interrupted.
