overture
Musical introduction to a larger, often dramatic, work. Originating with C. Monteverdi's Orfeo (1607), overtures served as openings for operas. The large-scale two- or three-part "French overture" invented by J.-B. Lully (1658) for his operas and ballets was widely imitated for a century. The sinfonia, a development of the latter that became the standard Italian overture form, was a principal precursor of sonata form, which itself became the standard form for later operatic overtures. In the 19th cent., overtures independent of any larger work usually illustrated a literary or historical theme (see symphonic poem). Overtures to operettas and musicals have traditionally been medleys of their themes.
