I. OBJECTIVE
At the end of the class the students will be able to:
II. CONTENT
A. Theme
“Establish tonal center of the piece”
B. Concept
In this lesson, you will learn about rondo form. You will find out about the
parts of rondo form, how these parts are labeled and organized, and the
definition of theme/refrain and episode.
C. Context
two main parts to rondo form: first, there is the theme, or refrain, and
second, there are the episodes. Let's take a closer look at each of these
parts of a rondo.
The theme, or refrain, of a rondo, our white horse on the carousel, is the
first main melody or musical material that occurs in the piece.
D. Materials
Musical Recordings of featured repertoire listed below
these pieces are in Sonata Rondo form (ABACABA, where the first B is in a dominant or
relative major):
Classical rondo form has at least 3 statements of the refrain (A) and at least 2
contrasting sections (B and C) creating symmetrical patterns such as ABACA,
ACACABA, or even ABACADA.
C. Lesson Proper
V. COCLUSION /IFL
Rondo form is a piece of music where the musical material stated at the
beginning of the piece keeps returning. This opening music can be called
either the theme or the refrain; they are the same thing. You can remember
in a 'rondo' that the theme will keep coming back 'around.' Just like a white
horse on a carousel, the theme of a rondo will keep coming around again. It
will establish tonal center of the piece. If we will relate this in our spiritual, I
can say that without Jesus in our life we are useless and making God as our
first priority and putting Him in the center of everything our life will give more
color the same in music. And we know that He is the alpha and omega the
beginning and the end. No matter how sinners we are but still God shows His
steadfast love toward His people. God is the same yesterday, today and
tomorrow.
VI. EVALUATION
Have students think of a word pattern in standard
rondo form as "passwords" to leave classroom (for example, -pizza-
burger-
pizza-hotdog-pizza"); using this as an assessment tool by noting
students who
