1 The Structure of Music Musical Forms

2 Identification Repetition and Contrast: major parts of form Divide music into its major sections ▫Music tends to be in 4 bar phrases ▫Or multiples of 4: 8,12,16… Utilize letters to identify sections ▫A for the first section ▫New material = new letter (B, C, D…) ▫If there isn’t new material then A again ▫Or if A is changed it is A’

3 Simple Musical Forms Strophic Binary Ternary Arch

4 Strophic Form Letter Form: AAA Same music each verse (melody) Different words for each verse (strophe) Example: ▫“Amazing Grace” and other hymns

5 Binary Form Letter Form: AB or AABB Melody is introduced in first section (maybe 2x) Then new material for the second section Song ends after “B” section Example: ▫“Appalachian Spring” by Aaron Copland ▫Arrangement from the production Blast!

6 Ternary Form Letter Form: ABA or AABA Melody is introduced in first section New material in second section Return to original melody in third section Example ▫“Loss” from the production Blast!

7 Arch Form Letter Form: ABCBA or ABCDEFEDCBA Melodies are new for each section After middle section of the piece, move backwards through the sections (each section is still played forwards) Example: ▫“Land of Make Believe” by Chuck Mangione ▫Arrangement from the production Blast!

8 Complex Forms Theme and Variations Rondo Fugue Sonata

9 Theme and Variations Form Letter Form: AA’A”A’”… Basic Melody stays, but each repetition becomes more complex Example ▫“Bolero” by Maurice Ravel ▫Arrangement from the production Blast!

14 Sonata Form A single movement. Three sections: Exposition (themes stated): A bridge/transition B (new key) Development (themes changed): A’ and B’, fragmented, new keys, tension builds Recapitulation (themes return): A bridge/transition B (all tonic) ▫Sometimes a Coda is added to state the themes one more time.

15 Sonata Form (cont.) Example ▫“Symphony No. 5, First Movement” by Ludwig Von Beethoven ▫Arrangement from Disney’s Fantasia 2000
