This is taken from the Radeon 9700 Realtime Demo featuring Animusic's Pipe Dream animation. Pipe Dream is probably their most famous animation, in no small part because of the email hoax that went around several years ao, claiming that it was a real machine, the attached video low enough quality that it wasn't immediately obvious that it was CGI.

MUSICAL FORM

Musical form is the organization of musical elements in time and it is divided into sections, which are usually marked using capital letters (A, B, C...). Rhythm, pitch, melody, dynamics, timbre and texture interact to produce a sense of structure in a composition.

Techniques that create musical form

Repetition (A A): it creates a sense of unity and we feel satisfaction when we recognize musical fragments.

Contrast (A B): it provides variety, conflict, change of mood and opposition.

Variation (A A'): it provides unity and variety at the same time. In the variation of a musical idea some features will be retained while some will be altered.

TYPES OF MUSICAL FORM

Some of the most common musical forms are described below.

Strophic form

Strophic form has one section that repeats over and over again. If the song has words, this part is called the verse. Sometimes the lyrics change in each verse, but the melody is the same each time.
E.g.: "Deck the Halls", "Old MacDonald Had a Farm", Das Wandern by Schubert.

Binary form

Binary form has two parts that contrast with each other. Sometimes both sections are repeated.
E.g.: Minuet in G major by Petzold / J.S. Bach.

Ternary form

Ternary form is a three-part form featuring a return of the initial music after a contrasting section. Symmetry and balance are achieved through the repetition of the initial section.
E.g.: Minuetto by Boccherini.

Rondo form

has one recurring section which alternates with several contrasting sections. The main theme keeps coming back after each new section of music.
E.g.: The Typewriter by Leroy Anderson, Te Deum by Charpentier.

Theme and variations

Theme and variations has one section that is continuously repeated in an altered form. The theme or main idea is played first and each repetition changes something about it (rhythm, tempo, melody, dynamics or instruments). Each time a variation is played, you should still be able to recognize part of the original theme.
E.g.: Ah vous dirai-je, Maman, K 265 by W. A. Mozart.

Through-composed

Through-composed or is a structure in which there is no repeat or return of any large-scale musical section.
E.g.: Erlkönig by Schubert.

FORM IN POPULAR MUSIC

The structures of songs in popular music are usually repeating forms such as the strophic form, the verse-chorus form or the 12-bar blues.
Typical sections:

Introduction (Intro): opening section.

Verse: section with the same music and different lyrics.

Chorus (Refrain): section with the same music and same words.

Bridge: contrasting material that connects two sections.

Solo (Break): instrumental interlude.

Coda (Outro): closing section.

Pop songs may have an introduction and coda, but they are not essential. Verse and chorus are often connected via a bridge. Verse and chorus are usually repeated throughout the song; while bridge, introduction and coda are usually only used once. Some pop songs may have a solo section, particularly in rock or blues influenced pop. During the solo one or more instruments play a melodic line which may be the melody used by the singer or it may be improvised based on the chord progression.
