Romantic
ABA form
Octave displacement

Florence Ada Goodrich was a composer and music teacher from America. Goodrich loved creating beautiful music, especially for children who were learnin to play the piano. She wrote lots of fun and exciting pieces for students of different levels and abilities.

‘Water Sprite’uses an ABA (ternary) form and the octave displacement (transporting) technique. Don’t worrsy about theses complex words!

In music, there’s a special way to organise a song or piece called ABA form, which is like a musical sandwich! Imagine you have a sandwich with different yummy filings. In ABA form, the piece starts with the first section, that’s the “A” part, like the first slice of bread. Then comes the “B” section, which is like the tasty filling in the middle. It sounds a bit different from the “A” section, maybe with new notes or a different melody. Finally, the song goes to the “A” section, like the second slice of bread, to finish the sandwich. This helps the song feel complete and balanced.

In “Water Sprite” Florence uses this technique very cleverly - see if you spot the ABA form here, it’s not easy to spot straight-away (the secret is in the “D.C. al Fine” instruction at the end of the 2nd page).

The octave displacement technique is very simple - it is using the same set of notes or phrase and transporting it up or down an octave. If that sounds complicated, think of it like a game of moving up or down on a magical staircase! Imagine you have a special tune or a set of notes that you really like. Octave displacement lets you take that tune and move it up or down on the musical staircase, so it spunds higher or lower. It’s a bit like playing on different steps of a ladder! By using octave displacement, composers can create new versions of melodies or patterns and make the music sound more interesting. See if you cant spot the octave displacement technique in bars 1&3 and in bars 911. (Trinity official)
