Thanks for this. It brought to mind my plunge down a musicological rabbit hole in '98 from which I've yet to escape. Specifically, is Tracy Chapman's vocal style in "Give Me One Reason" ua-cam.com/video/V6hQ9HSKlIE/v-deo.html ( i.e., multiple notes on one pitch, at conversational rythym, often ending in a two-note glissando) a modern take on recitativo, or parlando, or is there even a name for what she does?

Thanks so much. Excellent information given clearly and intelligently. Much appreciated.
This brings back wonderful memories of the "Dramatic Music" class I took at Buffalo State College. I enjoyed my "Symphonic Literature" class as well!
Why didn’t you guys make more of these videos?
This was great and helped me a lot with my studies. Thanks!
Great 🤍👏🏽
