Aria is a term used in music and it conveys the music of an expressive melody usually performed by a singer. Now a day the term is confined to describe a piece of only one voice which is accompanied by orchestra. You can say that the most common context where the term 'aria' is used is opera.

You can find a few concert operas written by the legends of music; Beethoven wrote 'Ah Perfido' and Mozart also wrote a number of concert arias.

The origin of this style can be traced back to the middle of the 14th century when the term was used to signify the style of a singer. With the passage of time it evolved from conveying simple melodies to a more structured form.
