Hi everyone, I’m trying to find structure for SEGUIRA, GRAN COMBO, LA and would really appreciate a second pair of ears and some guidance. I’ve started working through it and put together a table with my initial observations, but I’m not fully confident in my analysis yet.
| name |
timestamp |
| Intro |
0:00 |
| Verse |
0:10 |
| Verse 2 |
0:20 |
| Intro |
0:31 |
| Verse 1 |
0:42 |
| Verse 2 |
0:52 |
| Prechorus |
1:02 |
| Piano bridge |
1:23 |
| Chorus 1 |
1:28 |
| Chrous 2 |
2:20 |
| Break |
2:40 |
| Chorus 1 |
2:42 |
| Ending Chorus 1 |
3:14 |
| Ending Chorus 2 |
3:47 |
| Ending |
4:08 |
If anyone has time to look it over and point out corrections, missing elements, or a better way to structure the analysis, I’d be grateful.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Hi Chiktin,
That’s a good compositional question. I suppose the answer lies in: “what is the actual purpose of the analysis?”
Okay, so all of the structures fall at the correct durations; so you don’t need to worry about that particular aspect. The naming of the structures can be a personal thing (eg. some people say Middle Eight, Bridge, or Chorus - it’s just interchangeable jargon). As long as you understand what YOU have written, and WHY, then that’s all the validation you require!
There’s a couple of other things also but I’ll try and respond again tomorrow.
Best,
Paul

… It is the convention one deploys ‘rehearsal marks’ (ie. letters) to denote the sections you have defined. Thus:
Intro (I actually never use an indication here as I wait until the Verse begins);
Verse = “A”;
Verse 2 = “B”;
Intro = “C”;
and so forth…
… In the second event, you have termed this “Verse”; when really it should be “Verse 1”.
At the moment you have “Verse” followed by “Verse 1”. You see the possible error for confusion?
… If there exists a ‘key change’ within the piece, I always include this event in my survey.
