Song: Difference between revisions

'''Art songs''' are songs</nowiki> created for performance in their own right, or for the purposes of a European upper class, usually with [[piano]] accompaniment, although they can also have other types of accompaniment such as an [[orchestra]] or [[string quartet]], and are always [[notation|notated]]. Generally they have an identified [[author]](s) and require voice [[training]] for acceptable performances. The [[German language|German]] word for song, "[[Lied]]" (plural: "Lieder"), is used in [[French language|French]] and [[English language|English]]-speaking [[community|communities]] to refer to the serious art song, whereas in German-speaking communities the word "Kunstlied" (plural: "Kunstlieder") is used to distinguish art song from folk song ("Volkslied"). The lyrics are often written by a lyricist and the music separately by a composer. Art songs may be more [[form (music)|form]]ally complicated than popular or folk songs, though many early Lieder by the likes of [[Franz Schubert]] are in simple [[strophic form]]. They are often important to national identity.

Pop songs also have [[rhyme scheme|rhyming schemes]] which are commonly used by lyricists. These are classified using capital letters of the Latin alphabet. For example, a song's verse section may have this rhyming scheme: '''ABACAss ABADshit comes out of by ass'''. This means that the verse comprises of eight lines. Lines 1, 3, 5 and 7 rhyme with each other. Also, lines 2 and 6 rhyme. Whereas lines 4 and 8 do not rhyme with any lines.
