  • Summach, the Structure, Function, and Genesis of the Prechorus
    Volume 17, Number 3, October 2011 Copyright © 2011 Society for Music Theory The Structure, Function, and Genesis of the Prechorus (1) Jay Summach NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.11.17.3/mto.11.17.3.summach.php KEYWORDS: popular music, rock music, form, prechorus, sentence, srdc ABSTRACT: Prechoruses emerged in the mid-1960s as verse-chorus and strophic forms converged upon a four-part formal disposition that Everett (1999) calls “statement, restatement, departure, and conclusion,” or srdc. This study traces the expansion of the srdc scheme from its compact deployment in strophes to expanded iterations that approximate verse- chorus form. Received February 2011 [1] This article examines an episode in the evolution of verse-chorus form in pop/rock music. Until the mid-1960s, most verse-chorus songs alternated between the two formal sections from which verse-chorus form takes its name: verses and choruses. Example 1, Mark Dinning’s “Teen Angel,” illustrates the form.(2) As is typical for verse-chorus songs, the focal point of “Teen Angel” is the chorus: it contains the most engaging musical material; its unchanging lyric makes it easy to remember; and it is marked for special attention by additional vocal and instrumental parts. The verses, on the other hand, provide context: each verse advances the song narrative by presenting fresh lyrics; and the music is more modest in instrumentation and intensity so as not to steal attention from the chorus. In “Teen Angel,” the tempo is treated flexibly during the verses, which further distinguishes them from the choruses.

  • Music Standards
    5th Grade Singing alone and with others Standard 1 Students sing alone or in groups, on pitch and in rhythm, using good tone, diction, breath control, and posture while maintaining a steady tempo.

They sing accurately with appropriate dynamics, breath control, phrasing, and interpretation. Students in fifth grade sing in groups, blending vocal sounds, matching dynamics, and following the conductor. 5.1.1 Sing warm-ups that stress diction, posture, and an appropriate singing tone. 5.1.2 Sing a round with appropriate dynamics, phrasing and interpretations. Maintain an independent part and keep a steady beat. 5.1.3 Sing a memorized song in a foreign language. 5.1.4 Follow the conductor. Playing an instrument alone and with others Standard 2 Students perform accurately, independently, and expressively on an instrument, either alone or in an ensemble. They echo easy rhythmic, melodic, and chordal patterns. Students perform in groups, blending instrumental tones, matching dynamics, and responding to the conductor.

  • Guitar Best Practices Years 1, 2, 3 and 4 Nafme Council for Guitar
    Guitar Best Practices Years 1, 2, 3 and 4 Many schools today offer guitar classes and guitar ensembles as a form of music instruction. While guitar is a popular music choice for students to take, there are many teachers offering instruction where guitar is their secondary instrument. The NAfME Guitar Council collaborated and compiled lists of Guitar Best Practices for each year of study. They comprise a set of technical skills, music experiences, and music theory knowledge that guitar students should know through their scholastic career. As a Guitar Council, we have taken careful consideration to ensure that the lists are applicable to middle school and high school guitar class instruction, and may be covered through a wide variety of method books and music styles (classical, country, folk, jazz, pop). All items on the list can be performed on acoustic, classical, and/or electric guitars. NAfME Council for Guitar Education Best Practices Outline for a Year One Guitar Class YEAR ONE - At the completion of year one, students will be able to: 1. Perform using correct sitting posture and appropriate hand positions 2. Play a sixteen measure melody composed with eighth notes at a moderate tempo using alternate picking 3. Read standard music notation and play on all six strings in first position up to the fourth fret 4. Play melodies in the keys C major, a minor, G major, e minor, D major, b minor, F major and d minor 5.

CLASSICAL MUSIC FROM THE LATE 19th CENTURY TO THE EARLY 20th CENTURY: THE CREATION OF A DISTINCT AMERICAN MUSICAL SOUND Marked by the conflict of the Civil War, the late 19th century of American history marks an extremely turbulent time for the United States of America. As the young nation reached the second half of the century, idle threats of a Southern secession from the union bloomed into an all-encompassing conflict. However, through the turbulence of the war, American music persisted. Strengthened in battle, the ideas of a reconstructed American national identity started to form a distinctly different American culture and way of life. This is reflected in the nation’s shift in the music written after the war.

  • My Song Analysis: I Want to Hold Your Hand
    My Song Analysis: I Want to Hold Your Hand Artist: By: M. Mejia Music Appreciation Tempo of the Song • The TEMPO is FAST In music Fast tempo is called ALLEGRO Meter of the Song • The METER is 4 beats In music, a 4-beat pattern means that the song has a 4/4 time signature MOOD of the Song The MOOD of this song is rather HAPPY. The artist is communicating this by choosing a bright melody and fast tempo. The lyrics also support this feeling. • A happy mood usually means that the song is in a MAJOR KEY or scale (in fact the song is written in E major) Instrumentation of the Song and Texture • The instrumentation I heard is: 2 guitars, 1 drumset (percussion), 1 bass line, and the voices. The song also had clapping. • The texture is HOMOPHONIC because there is only one main melody or tune that is being accompanied by all other instruments and voices. The FORM of the song • The parts I discovered were: Introduction, A-B-A’-B-C-A’’-B- A’’ ending where: A is the main verse (A’= vs2, A’’ = vs3) B is the Refrain or chorus C is the bridge Form analysis I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND - Verse 3 = Part A’’ The BEATLES Yeah you, got that something I think you'll understand Verse 1 = Part A When I say that something Oh yeah, I'll tell you something I wanna hold your hand I think you'll understand When I say that something Refrain= Part B I wanna hold your hand I wanna hold your hand I wanna hold your hand Refrain = Part B I wanna hold your hand (2x) Bridge = Part C And when I touch you I feel happy, inside Verse 2 = Part A’ It's such a feeling Oh, please, say

It should be noted in the latter case that mélodie, Melodie, melodia, melodi (French, German, Latin and Scandinavian languages respectively) can in popular parlance sometimes denote the entirety of any TUNE or SONG (including lyrics and accompa- niment) in which melody, defined according to [1] and [2] above, is a prominent fea- ture.
