RMlg.mf1 - Learning Music With Ray- Musical FormThis Learning Music With Ray video discusses musical form. In it, I define musical form and discuss the elements used to shape the form of a piece of music. I then analyze a piece of music that is written in binary form. I explain the components of this type of form, and the ways to identify them in the musical example. Merriam-Webster defines form as: the shape and structure of something as distinguished from its material. In construction, wooden forms are used to shape poured concrete. Literature is written in different forms depending on the nature and purpose of the work. Poetry is written in stanzas. It contains a particular rhythmic flow, and often a rhyme scheme. Business letters start with a date and address. This is followed by a greeting, body and closing. Essays are written in paragraph form with an introduction, main body and conclusion. Each of these three examples have a different look, structure and flow on the page. Music is also composed in a variety of forms. There are basic elements that act as the building blocks to every musical form. Being able to identify these elements will aid one in identifying the form. Good music is composed of patterns that repeat. These patterns become the main ideas that orient the listener and help him/her to relate to the piece. These patterns are also what causes the music to be memorable.Musical ideas and patterns are expressed in phrases. A musical phrase starts, picks up momentum and then comes to an end in a similar fashion to the flow of sentences. Phrases normally end with a longer rhythm or rest to cause a sense of pause like a sentence's ending punctuation. Multiple phrases can be combined to form larger musical sections in the same way that sentences can form paragraphs. The structure of these larger sections of music defines the form of the music.........http://www.raymelograne.com
