What is musical form?

How do musical ideas define musical form? How do slight changes in the ideas define a section of music?

How do key structures help to define musical form?





In this unit, musical form will be discussed. The musical forms that should be covered are: Binary, Rounded Binary, Rondo, Strophic and Sonata. A special emphasis should be placed unpon the rounded binary form, or ABA form. This is a simple form that the students are able to grasp and use in their compositions. All elements covered up to this point should be incorporated into the students' compositions.



IN this unit, the student will:
*Analyze musical forms through listening to a variety of musical examples
*Analyze musical forms through score analysis
*demonstrate and understanding of musical form by composing a piece using rounded binary form.



In this unit, the student will:
*listen to a variety of music from the "classics" that demonstrate various musical forms
*Discuss the musical forms binary, rounded binary, rondo, sonata and strophic
*Compose a piece in rounded binary form. This piece will include correct harmonic progressions with a modulation to the B section. The return of A should be in the home key.



Students will be assessed in this unit via:
*Class discussion and participation during listening examples
*compositions
