 Definition: 
\A"ri*a\, n. [It., fr. L. a["e]r. See {Air}.] (Mus.)
An air or song; a melody; a tune.
Note: The Italian term is now mostly used for the more
      elaborate accompanied melodies sung by a single voice,
      in operas, oratorios, cantatas, anthems, etc., and not
      so much for simple airs or tunes.
