 ABA forms in music
Author: ~Heather ~

I give piano lessons, and I came across a song that I had one of my students play that was in ABA form...*you have a certain melody at the begining(A) then it changes to a totally different type of song(B) then it goes back to its original melody(back to A)* I was wondering if there was a musical term instead of ABA form? Thanks!

da capo- from the head or from the begining. Go back to the begining

or should it be da capo aria- An opera(an opera, i don't about that...)in three sections, with the begining repeated.....isn't that the ABA form w/o the opera part?

A da capo aria was widely used in 17th and 18th Century opera, especially Italian opera. It was called so because it, as you said, was played and sung once through two separate sections, A and B, and then as directed by the DC, the first secion A was repeated, giving it an ABA form. So you could call your ABA da capo form, if it has a DC in it. Or you could just stick to ABA.

An ABA form like a Del Capo Aria is in tripartite
(tri-par-tight) form

Is the ABA structure not also called Ternery form?
