ENCORE Meaning and Definition

1. Encore, as a noun, refers to a repeated or additional performance of a musical piece or production requested by the audience after an initial performance has ended. Derived from the French word for "again," the term is commonly used in the context of live concerts, theater, opera, and other public performances.

   In this context, an encore serves as a way for the audience to express their enthusiasm and appreciation, often through applause and cheers, for the artist or ensemble's performance. It is not uncommon for performers to have prepared an encore in advance, indicating a second or subsequent piece to be played if demanded by the crowd. However, sometimes the encore may be an impromptu performance, chosen on the spot by the performer or group.

   As a verb, "to encore" refers to the act of calling for or performing an encore. Additionally, it can be used metaphorically to describe any request for a repeat performance or an additional demonstration of skill or talent in different contexts outside of the performing arts.

   Overall, an encore represents a special and coveted moment in a live performance, signifying the performer's ability to captivate and thrill the audience, as well as the audience's desire to prolong the experience and show their appreciation for the artist's craft.

2. • Again; once more; a repetition of the same.

   • To call for the repetition of a part of a performance.
