The main song is the part before the climax (chorus) in general songs. This part does not represent the climax of the whole chorus of Song Like, but the function of the main song is to clearly express the story background expressed by the song and slowly push the melody to the climax. After the intermission in the middle of the song, the main song is usually sung repeatedly, and the lyrics of this time are often different from those of the first time to continue the development of the plot or describe the emotion in depth.
Chorus refers to a paragraph with different content from the main song, which has strong development and generality and contrasts with the main song in rhythm and emotional tune. In many songs, the chorus often carries out an emotional sublimation, which is the crowning touch of the whole word. Lyric elements are in the majority, with strong generality.
A transitional sentence is to apply the melody of a main song or chorus, or even the melody of a prelude. The most important test of kung fu is the transition and prelude of music. The melody of the main song and the chorus is not similar, nor is it irrelevant.
Because chorus has two functions of repetition and contrast, chorus has become an indispensable and widely used music structure in popular songs. This is the basic musical structure of A-B, and the popular sentence patterns of most songs are set in the chorus.
Before the whole song ends, most of them end with a piece of pure music. For example, repeating the last sentence of a song, or repeating it many times, gradually reducing the volume to no sound at all, are some frequently heard ending expressions.

The music connotation of songs should first establish the relationship between melody and rhythm. There is a saying in traditional composition textbooks: "Melody is the life of a song". However, in a sense, this sentence denies the extremely important position of rhythm in songs. From the theoretical concept of modern music development, it is more convenient, easier to learn and easier to achieve the internal unity of songs from the perspective of rhythm.
Therefore, compared with melody, rhythm is more concrete, intuitive and primitive. It goes without saying that ancient tribal peoples were addicted to the rhythm of "beating stones and attaching stones". Nowadays, young people are keen on "disco dancing" or "dancing machine". I'm afraid the rhythm is far more than the melody. Rhythm is especially important for beginners to write songs. Only by mastering the framework concept of rhythm can we master the small and complete music genre of songs.
In contrast, melody creation is more abstract and more difficult to teach and express. Beautiful melody can only be understood, but not expressed, just as many composers sometimes talk about melody and move out of "inspiration". Mccartney only used the words "a year written in a dream" when discussing the song "Yesterday". Therefore, songs are different from music. A composer who lacks a sense of melody can write excellent instrumental music, but not songs.
Instrumental music pays attention to form and structure, and it develops exquisitely and orderly in time span by using some "motivation" music themes. The song pays attention to the beauty of melody and the instantaneous effect of sound, which attracts the audience's full attention in just a few minutes. Therefore, grasping the beauty and ability of melody is the most important quality of a song composer.
Besides the relationship between melody and rhythm, the music connotation of songs also includes other aspects of music writing, such as the principles of presentation, development and reproduction in music writing, the influence of the golden section law in climax layout, the classic form of ABA in structural paragraphs, the principle of regression of musical forms and so on. The musical connotation of songs also reflects the composer's aesthetic tendency towards art.
