Types of musical songs
-
Duet – duets are basically the same as solo character songs, except there are two people singing so you get two different reactions to a situation. You can also get trios, quartets, etc.
Action song – the words of the song tell you what’s going on in the plot – they lead you into the next bit of the story.
-
Earlier musicals were influenced by jazz and swing music while lots of musicals from the 1970s onwards used rock music.
-
The genre started out on Broadway, a famous theatre street in New York. Later ones started in London’s West End.
Musicals are usually written in the style of the popular music that’s around at the time – so musicals from different times sound very different.
-
The song structure is often simple with alternating verses and choruses and a middle 8 (like a pop song).
