strophic<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Strophic form<\/b> (also called “verse-repeating” or chorus<\/a> form) is the term applied to songs in which all verses or stanzas of the text are sung to the same music.[1]<\/a><\/sup> The opposite of strophic form, with new music written for every stanza, is called through-composed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The term is derived from the Greek word \u03c3\u03c4\u03c1\u03bf\u03c6\u03ae<\/span>, stroph\u0113<\/i>, meaning “turn”. It is the simplest and most durable of musical forms<\/a>, extending a piece of music<\/a> by repetition of a single formal section<\/a>. This may be analyzed as “A A A…”. This additive method is the musical analogue of repeated stanzas in poetry or lyrics and, in fact, where the text repeats the same rhyme scheme from one stanza<\/a> to the next the song’s structure<\/a> also often uses either the same or very similar material from one stanza to the next.
