However, it seems wrong to call this strophic or modified strophic. However, I always think of "through-composed" as meaning that musical sections never repeat. (I'm pretty sure "ternary" is the answer they're looking for on question b: "Considering that the music of verses 1 and 2 is repeated in verses 4 and 5, and that verse 3 is a stand-alone verse that is in a contrasting key, what musical form does the song resemble overall?") I was thinking that perhaps this could be classified as "through-composed" since any time there are new words, there is new music. It's basically a ternary form but I don't think that's the answer they're looking for here, although it could be. Verses 4 and 5 have the same text AND the same music as Verses 1 and 2. Verses 1, 2, and 3 all have different music. It has five verses (and immediately after answering this question they want you to "verify the type by marking the beginnings of each of the five verses of the poem" in the score). Really, though, I'm not sure if this song is any of those. Typically, with this question, they are looking for "strophic", "modified strophic", or "through-composed" (although they don't say for sure that they want one of those). The first question is "Name the type of song (based on the relationship of the music to the structure of the poem)".
On one of the old exams they give out for practice, one needs to analyse "Mein!" from Schubert's Die Schone Mullerin.
I'm preparing a student for a Royal Conservatory Analysis exam.
