Song structure is the arrangement of a song, [1] and is a part of the songwriting process. It is typically sectional, which uses repeating forms in songs.Common piece-level musical forms for vocal music include bar form, 32-bar form, verse–chorus form, ternary form, strophic form, and the 12-bar blues.
As the chords of a 12-bar blues follow a form, so does the melodic line. The melodic line might just be the melody of the piece or it might also include lyrics.
