ASSIGNMENT #1: Structural Listening Assignment—Form Chart
DUE DATE: Wednesday February 15, 2023, 11:59pm
DESCRIPTION
Make a detailed form chart of song.
Your chosen song may be from any popular music genre of any era, but it must include
vocals, be from Northern North America (Canada and the USA), and be between 2:30
and 5:00 minutes long. You may not choose a song discussed in class so far.
You can use the format of form charts created in class in Week 3 and 4 (template
provided), draw inspiration from the assigned materials on form, or design a different
visual representation. Your chart must include:
• Identification of each section:
-Eg: “Verse, chorus, guitar solo, bridge” etc. Refer to the Biamonte article and/or
the Covach article from Week 3 for references. If appropriate, you may also use
section names not covered in these with additional explanations.
-You may choose to include further explanation/justification of why you have
labelled a section in a certain way if it is unclear (eg. “Some listeners might
consider the section at 1:20 the chorus, however, I consider that section a pre-
chorus and 1:50 the chorus because…”)
-You may use a different labelling system (eg. A, A’, B) if more appropriate to
your chosen song (eg. if it does not have a clear verse-chorus structure), but
must include some explanation of why this labelling is preferable.
• Timestamps (to the second) of the start of each identified section.
• Identification of the hook(s) of the song.
Identify every occurrence of what you consider the hook(s) of the song. You do
not need to include all the song lyrics (though you may if it helps), but you must
include the lyrics of the hook.
• Brief musical descriptions of each section.
-Consider the musical elements discussed in class so far—melody, timbre,
dynamics, instrumentation/orchestration rhythm, beats/grooves—and focus on
the ones that are most relevant to each section and to the song in general. (You
are not required to discuss harmony or label melodic patterns, but you may do so
if you like.) Some excerpts from lyrics may be included to aid in description.
-Descriptions may be in point form or full sentences and paragraphs as long as
they are clear. Musical descriptions should be more detailed than the form charts
from lectures.
• A link to a recording of the song on YouTube or Spotify.
