A ' (; Italian for "toast") is a song in which a company is exhorted to drink, a drinking song. The word is Italian, but it derives from an old German phrase, ' – "(I) offer it to you", which at one time was used to introduce a toast.〔O. Pianigiani, ''Vocabolario Etimologico della Lingua Italiana'', s.v. (''brindisi'' ). See also OED, s.v. †''brendice''.〕 The transformation of that phrase into the current Italian word may have been influenced by similar-sounding name of the Italian city of Brindisi, but otherwise the city and the term are etymologically unrelated. The term ' is often used in opera. Typically, in an operatic ', one character introduces a toast with a solo melody and the full ensemble later joins in the refrain. Some well-known operatic numbers labeled ' are: * "Libiamo ne' lieti calici", sung by Alfredo and Violetta in act 1 of Verdi's ''La traviata'' * "Viva, il vino spumeggiante", sung by Turiddu in scene 2 of Mascagni's ''Cavalleria rusticana'' * "Il segreto per esser felici", sung by Orsini in act 2 of Donizetti's ''Lucrezia Borgia'' * "Inaffia l'ugola!", sung by Iago in act 1 of Verdi's ''Otello'' * "Si colmi il calice", sung by Lady Macbeth in act 2 of Verdi's ''Macbeth'' * "The Tea-Cup Brindisi", in the finale of act 1 of Gilbert and Sullivan's ''The Sorcerer'' * "Ô vin, dissipe la tristesse" sung by Hamlet in act 2 of Thomas's ''Hamlet'' ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brindisi (music)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
