Games for Music wiki / G4M

There is an article on the #wiki about #form (still a draft):
http://musicgames.wikidot.com/wiki:form

It covers structure of both #music and #boardgames and holds two print-and-play decks of cards for form which in our case is marked with:
- letters for repeated parts,
- apostrophes for variation,
- parentheses for optional repetition.

A question for #composers #musicTheory or #musicology people:
Do you know some common reused and describable forms, that may be notated like that? We need a lot!

@d10c4n3
sure
letters need to appear in order, but may be many:
abc acab - a proper form
abcdefghijk fck ice - another, etc.

but both used not frequently enough..

Limerick form: A A B B A
Fairly common in short folksong / children’s song or hymns

@gamesformusic

Also ‘sandwich’ (or Swedish 😉) form: A B B A

I realize that these could both be argued as AABA and ABA - 32 bar form respectively, but I think that phrase length is a distinctive features of songs in these forms.

If it has a name, we want to play with it. ;)
