This lesson on music composition focuses on the ABA form, illustrated by Beethoven's work and an Inuit folk song. Students will analyze the structure of the song, identifying phrases, measures, and motifs. Key questions will guide their understanding: how many measures are in each phrase, whether any phrases are alike, and what the overall form is. The lesson also explores the use of sequences and variations in motifs. Students will then create their own compositions using the ABA form based on the provided guidelines, applying what they’ve learned about melody and rhythm.

  6. Repeating a motif such as beginning on a different note is known as a sequence. Composers frequently use sequences in their compositions. Can you find a sequence in Phrase b of this song? Motif Motif – repeated a step lower That’s right! The motif in measure 1&2 is repeated a step lower in measures 3&4.

  7. Motifs – different variations We have seen how motifs can be varied by beginning on a higher or lower note. Motifs can also be turned upside down. Look at the following examples: Notice that in the first motif the skip at the end is an ascending skip of a third. In the second example the skip of a third goes down.

Create a motif in measure 1 & 2 and repeat it as a sequence in measure 3 & 4. If you wish, you may create an inverted sequence.
