Diagram the forms of these three songs. (Use a ||: :|| for repeating sections and classify their overall forms as either a three-part ternary form (a return to the beginning at the end, as in A B A) or a two-part binary form (no return to opening material at the end, as in A B). Indicate the approximate pitches in scale order on which each song is based
What will be an ideal response?
• Agbekor Song 1 ||: A1 A2 :|| B B A2 = A B A, ternary.
• Agbekor Song 2 ||: A1 B1 A2 B2 :|| = A B, binary
• Agbekor Song 3 ||: A1 A2 :||: B1 B2 :|| A2 = A B A*, ternary.
(*In Agbekor Song 3, since at the end only A2 returns and A1 does not return, you may also think of the overall form as "rounded binary," that is, basically a two-part binary form with limited reference to the opening material at the end.)
