The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The term a cappella was originally intended to differentiate between Renaissance polyphonic and Baroque concertato musical styles.
- In the 19th century, a renewed interest in Renaissance polyphony, coupled with an ignorance of the fact that vocal parts were often doubled by instrumentalists, led to the term coming to mean unaccompanied vocal music.
- The term is also used, rarely, as a synonym for alla breve.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The A cappella article was read about 150,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 80 and blocks with 83: each hit it takes is cut by 33 %.
