What is form of music?
In music, form of music is referred
to as the structure and organization of any musical composition.
Types Of Musical Forms:
a. Strophic form.
b. Binary form.
c. Ternary form.
d. Rondo form
e. Medley or Chain For
Variational form.
Sonata-allegro form. Etc.
Strophic Form
Strophic
Form is a
type of musical form when only one phrase or passage is repeated throughout the
piece. It can also be also be referred to as verse-repeating form or chorus
form because it doesn’t vary at all.
A good example of a piece that uses strophic form is
Amazing Grace.
A AA
Binary Form
A piece with Binary Form has two sections that are
approximately equal in length and importance.
They tend to be similar not only in length but will often
in harmony too.
It is written as either:
A B or A A B B
A good example of a piece written that uses Binary Form is
the folk song Green sleeves.
Ternary Form
Any music piece that is divided into three parts, in which
the third part repeats the main ideas and passages of the first, has a Ternary
Form.
The three sections also tend to be very long and can even
be whole movements or pieces.
Because the third part is a repeat of the first, Ternary
Form is written as:
A B A. A good example of a
piece that uses Ternary Form is “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”
Rondo Form
Rondo Form is a music form which follows on from Binary
and Ternary form by adding some additional sections.
It starts with a main passage or phrase that repeats in
between different contrasting sections, called “episodes”.
A B A C A D A
You can also carry on adding more episodes which would be
written as
A B A C A D A E A
A good example of a piece of music using Rondo Form is
Beethoven’s “Fur Elise”. Etc.
