Bar form

Bar form

The Bar form is an old musical form in which each stanza follows the pattern "AAB". It is named after the medieval poetic form known as "Bar" in German. Such a poem contains three stanzas (or more), and each stanza is in "AAB" form, composed of two "Stollen" followed by an "Abgesang". The musical form thus contains two repetitions of one melody ("Stollen" - 'stanzas') followed by a melody ("Abgesang" - 'aftersong'). The "Abgesang" may incorporate portions of "Stollen" phrase.

The minnesingers of the 12th to 14th century in Germany wrote songs in this form, and Lutheran chorales of Music", entries on Bar form and minnesingers. (ISBN 0-674-37471-1)
