 INKPOT#64 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: SIBELIUS Everyman. Belshazzar's Feast. The Countess's Portrait (BIS)
The medievality of the morality play is captured, here in the 20th century, by the dark stretches of music, the ominous bell-tolling, even the chant-like singing and indeed, the use of the pipe organ.
Whenever they appear, the sisters grace the score with music of soothing strength, as when Faith manifests (No.12) in aid of Everyman - I guess the word to describe this music is Marian.
A melodrama is simply music to accompany the recitation of a poem - a natural thing to do if you ask me. Published only in 1994, this quiet melancholic piece is meant to "atmospherise" a combined poem by the Swedish poet Anna Maria Lenngren (1754-1817) and Finnish Zachris Topelius (1818-1898).

 KQED | Arts and Literature: Music and Sound: The Classical Music Archives
This segment focuses on the Symphony, perhaps the pre-eminent genre of orchestral music since at least the mid-18th century.
It first became attached to musical works in the early Baroque era, as in Gabrieli's Sacrae symphoniae (1597), as a generic reference to works "sounding together" with voices and instruments.
By the mid-17th century, the term — in its Italian form "sinfonia" — had become standardized as an instrumental introduction to an opera, oratorio, or other large-scale vocal works, and were generally set in a 3-part slow-fast-slow form.
