Deciding on Form

April 8-Ms. Zaryski and I talked briefly after 5th period today about what form this Alma Mater should follow. We discussed several different options:


  • AABA Coda (very much like a pop song where "A" is a verse and "B" is the chorus. of course, in a pop song, it's AABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB)
  • AA (just 2 verses with the same melody)
  • AA Coda (2 verses, but with a small "tag" on the end)
  • ABAB Coda (verse, chorus, different verse, chorus, with a tag)
We decided that ABAB Coda was the best way to go because most students probably won't know the verses very well, but I want the chorus to be something that everybody knows and is willing to sing raucously and fervently. 
(That's right. Two vocab words in one sentence.)
