Verse–chorus form is a musical form common in popular music, used in blues and rock and roll since the 1950s,〔Michael Campbell & James Brody (2007), ''Rock and Roll: An Introduction'', (page 117 )〕 and predominant in rock music since the 1960s. In contrast to thirty-two-bar form, which is focused on the verse (contrasted and prepared by the B section), in verse–chorus form the chorus is highlighted (prepared and contrasted with the verse).〔Covach, John. "Form in Rock Music: A Primer", p.71, in Stein, Deborah (2005). ''Engaging Music: Essays in Music Analysis''. New York: Oxford University Press. ISBN 0-19-517010-5.〕 "Many popular songs, particularly from early in (20th ) century, are in a verse and a chorus (''refrain'') form. Most popular songs from the middle of the () century consist only of a chorus."〔Benward & Saker (2003). ''Music: In Theory and Practice'', Vol. I, p.317. Seventh Edition. ISBN 978-0-07-294262-0.〕 Thus, while in both forms A is the verse and B is the chorus, in AABA the verse takes up most of the time and the chorus exists to contrast and lead back into the return of the verse, in verse–chorus form the chorus often takes much more time proportionally and the verse exists to lead into it. For example: ABABB(B) ("Be My Baby" ), rather than thirty-two-bar form's AABA. The chorus often sharply contrasts the verse melodically, rhythmically, and harmonically, and assumes a higher level of dynamics and activity, often with added instrumentation. This is referred to as a "breakout chorus."〔(Doll, Christopher. "Rockin' Out: Expressive Modulation in Verse–Chorus Form", ''Music Theory Online'' 17/3 (2011), § 2. )〕 See: arrangement. == Contrasting verse–chorus form == Songs that use different music for the verse and chorus are in contrasting verse–chorus form. Examples include: *"That'll Be the Day" by Buddy Holly (1957)〔 *"Be My Baby" by The Ronettes (1963)〔Covach (2005), p.71–72〕 *"California Girls" by The Beach Boys (1965)〔 *"Penny Lane" & "All You Need Is Love" by The Beatles (1967)〔 *"Foxy Lady" by Jimi Hendrix (1967)〔 *"Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple (1973)〔 *"Can't Get Enough" by Bad Company (1974)〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Verse–chorus form」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
