Section (music)
In
music a
section is "a complete, but not independent
musical idea" (Bye 1993, p.51). Types of sections include including
introduction or intro,
exposition,
recapitulation,
verse, chorus or
refrain,
conclusion,
coda or outro,
fadeout,
bridge or
interlude; or a sectional form such as
binary form. In
sectional form the larger unit (form) is built from various smaller clear-cut units (sections) in combination, sort of like stacking legos.
