Repetition (music)

Repetition is important in music, where sounds or sequences are often repeated. It may be called restatement, such as the restatement of a theme. While it plays a role in all music, with noise and musical tones lying along a spectrum from irregular to periodic sounds, it is especially prominent in specific styles. A literal repetition of a musical passage is often indicated by the use of a repeat sign, or the instructions da capo or dal segno. Repetition is a part and parcel of symmetry—and of establishing motifs and hooks. You find a melodic or rhythmic figure that you like, and you repeat it throughout the course of the melody or song. This sort of repetition...helps to unify your melody; it's the melodic equivalent of a steady drumbeat, and serves as an identifying factor for listeners. However, too much of a good thing can get annoying. If you repeat your figure too often, it will start to bore the listener. Memory affects the music-listening experience so profoundly that it would not be hyperbole to say that without memory there would be no music. As scores of theorists and philosophers have noted...music is based on repetition. Music works because we remember the tones we have just heard and are relating them to the ones that are just now being played. Those groups of tones—phrases—might come up later in the piece in a variation or transposition that tickles our memory system at the same time as it activates our emotional centers...(Levitin, 162–163) Theodor W. Adorno criticized repetition and popular music as being psychotic and infantile. In contrast, Richard Middleton (1990) argues that "while repetition is a feature of all music, of any sort, a high level of repetition may be a specific mark of 'the popular'" and that this allows an "enabling" of "an inclusive rather than exclusive audience"(Middleton 1990, p. 139). "There is no universal norm or convention" for the amount or type of repetition, "all music contains repetition – but in differing amounts and of an enormous variety of types.

Section (music)

In music, a section is a complete, but not independent, musical idea. Types of sections include the introduction or intro, exposition, development, recapitulation, verse, chorus or refrain, conclusion, coda or outro, fadeout, bridge or interlude. In sectional forms such as binary, the larger unit (form) is built from various smaller clear-cut units (sections) in combination, analogous to stanzas in poetry or somewhat like stacking Lego. Some well known songs consist of only one or two sections, for example "Jingle Bells" commonly contains verses ("Dashing through the snow.

Composition continue

En musique, la composition continue est la qualité d'une musique sans répétition de motifs ou de sections. Le terme est généralement utilisé pour décrire des lieder ou des mélodies (on emploie dans ces cas le terme allemand durchkomponiert), mais il peut également s'appliquer à la musique instrumentale. Alors que la plupart des formes musicales telles que la forme ternaire (ABA), la forme rondo (ABACABA) et la forme sonate reposent sur la répétition de sections, les pièces en composition continue ne réutilisent pas le matériel (ABCD).

Accroche (musique)

Une accroche (en anglais hook), est un motif utilisé dans la musique populaire – souvent sous la forme d'un bref riff, passage ou idiotisme destiné à capter l'attention de l'auditeur. Le terme s'emploie généralement dans la pop, le rock, le hip-hop (Nate Dogg est l'exemple le plus connu du rap) et la dance. Dans ces genres musicaux, l'accroche se trouve souvent dans le refrain et parfois est le refrain lui-même. En général, l'accroche est mélodique ou rythmique et constitue le principal motif du morceau de musique.
