dramatic unity no great ensembles nothing
Gluck, armed with German theories and supporting French music, maintained for dramatic interest, the subordination of music to poetry, the union or close relation of song and recitative; whereas, the Italian opera represented by Piccini had no dramatic unity, no great ensembles, nothing but short airs, detached, without connection--no substance, but mere ornamentation.

doth unclose Now grudging earth no
