Learn Musical Form from Octopath Traveler

Описание: The Small Ternary is a fantastic musical form for composers of game music and short works to know.

🎹 how to tell as story as a composer    • How Good Music is Like a Good Story  

The Small Ternary starts with an A section, usually in Sentence or Period form or a hybrid. The A section can end with a half cadence or an authentic cadence.

It's followed by a contrasting B section, usually in a different harmonic space (either a modulation or just starting on a different chord). The B section is motivically similar to the A, so although it is "contrasting", the contrast is not too strong.

The B section ends with a half cadence to prepare for the return of the A, usually in the home ket. In the case of video game music this can go on to be an endless loop.

All 8 themes in this video come from Yasunori Nishiki's beautiful score to the game Octopath Traveler.
