Arch Form
This is a large structure form similar to rondo form in that it doesn’t have a predefined length, but it’s different in that the form is “symmetrical” (or looks like an arch). The most common structure is ABCBA.
Examples
- Samuel Barber’s “Adagio for Strings”
- “Metaknight’s Revenge” from Kirby Super Star
- (ABCB, but it loops)
- “Frantic Factory” from Donkey Kong 64
- (ABCB, but it loops)
