How to write and compose music with antecedent and consequent phrases, particularly useful when composing melodies. This music composition lesson explains how musical phrases often come in pairs as questioning and answering phrases or as antecedent and consequent phrases. Much music is organised with single phrases but often phrases come in pairs to create musical balance - the first phrase poses a musical question, while the second provides a response. The formal term for this is antecedent and consequent. In this music composition lesson the technique is demonstrated. If you-re a performer you-ll learn how to recognise it in the music you play and it will help to make expressive sense in your interpretation of the music. If you-re a composer it-s a most worthwhile technique to employ in order to avoid your music getting stuck. It also assists those engaged in musical analysis. Lots of examples will be heard during the video and you-ll soon be tuned in to antecedent and consequent phrases. to answering phrases 1:38 - An antecedent phrase 2:58 - Writing a consequent phrase 5:38 - Hearing them both together

I really appreciate you. I hope all is well. I just started teaching myself to play (guitar) last year. I'm happy I'm able to watch these videos and understand most if it. These videos keep me eager to learn. Thank you

I-m curious if this is related to open and closed phrases. Are the example in the video a close phrase? Then how can we put an open phrase in to the composition

Another excellent video. Would it make sense to write a longer call response, such as two 16 bar phrases? Ate the principles the same with a longer phrase?
