LESSON 1: Musical Forms and Musical Symbols (binary (AB), ternary (ABA), rondo (ABACA))
MU6FOIIIa-b-1
INTRODUCTION
In this lesson, you will study the concept of musical forms. Do you love music? Have you experienced
singing in front of the crowd? If yes, what did you feel? Do you think singing helps develop your self-
confidence?

DEVELOPMENT
A COMPOSER writes music. This music may be a song to sing or a song to play with an instrument. We
call the music he/she writes a MUSICAL COMPOSITION. Composers make musical forms which express their
feelings or ideas. This form or structure of the composition is based on the number and similarity of the phrase
in the music. They write many kinds of music. They write music without words. They write music to play and
sing. They write music for one person to sing alone, or for many persons to sing together.
MUSICAL FORM – Form in music is the way a musical composition is arranged. This composition could be
either any musical piece as sung by vocalists or singers or the music created by means of musical instruments.

These are the important sectional forms:


AB or Two-part Form (Binary) - It is composed of two different melodic ideas.
ABA/ABC or Three-part Form (Ternary) - It has two melodic ideas and ends with the repetition of the first idea.
- ABC means, there are 3 different sections. Example of song in this kind of symbol in Ternary Form is
our National Anthem.
ABACA or Five-part Form (Rondo) - It is based on a repetition of a musical idea. The ability to appreciate
music is not inborn. Music appreciation may be acquired by anyone who makes up his mind to do so.
Conscious effort, intellectual activity, is also involved in the appreciation of music.

Kind of Form
Form in music can be identified by giving a letter designation to each prominent musical idea and noticing the
order in which these ideas appear and are repeated.
Repetition providing unity and continuity, and
Contrast providing variety and surprise, are the two fundamental principles of musical forms.
1. Binary Form or Two-part
AB – AAB - AABB
The musical form that has two different sections is called the binary form. The first section is labelled as
A while section two is labelled as B. In this form, the second part often acts as an answer to the first.
The (AB) form is very important even during the 17th and 18th centuries. In many pieces, each section is
repeated.
2. Ternary Form or Three-part
The ternary form has two kinds of symbols.
a. ABA
The first section is labelled as A, the second section is labelled as B, and the third section is labelled as
A again because it is just a repetition of the first section.
b. ABC
There are 3 different sections. Example of song in this kind of symbol in Ternary Form is our National
Anthem.
3. Rondo Form or Five-part
ABACA
The word rondo comes from a similar French word referring to “coming around again” in a composition.
The primary theme (refrain) usually reappears in the tonic key, while the secondary themes are often in
other keys.

In a Musical Composition, there are some symbols that indicate repetitions of some sections. Below are the
examples of repeat marks.
