Members Walters9515 Posted September 19, 2005 Members Posted September 19, 2005 Question and Answering Phrases How do i compose Question and Answering Phrases? What are the Basics of doing Question and Answering Phrases? I think the questioning Phrases doesn't end on the tonic but the dominant or another scale degree to make it unfinished to create tension The Answering Phrase ends on the tonic to resolve

It goes back long before them! Antecedents/consequents take many shapes. The basic idea is that the antecedent should be 'unfinished', and the consequent should finish it. Often it's simply a matter of I-V, V-I (ant., con.), other times it's more elaborate. There are no 'tricks'...and it's something I think composers just do naturally, just like we do when speaking.
Members Walters9515 Posted September 20, 2005 Author Members Posted September 20, 2005 I thought Antecedents/consequents is way different than question and answering phrasing or are they the same thing? Because in Baroque they didn't really do question and answering but more Antecedents/consequents phrasing in Classical era Mozart and Haydn did the question and answering dividing sections more
Members Walters9515 Posted September 20, 2005 Author Members Posted September 20, 2005 The difference is making a Question Melody how do i do this?"end on a Tension note" a phrase that is unfinished and unresolved making a Answer Melody how do i do this?"end on the tonic note"a phrase that is finished and resolved 4 phrase: First 2 phrases are "Antecedent" phrases can either be parallel Antecedent or Contrasting Antecedent making a Period and cadencing with a half cadence I-V Secord 2 phrases are "Consequent" phrases can either be parallel Consequent or Contrasting Consequent making a Period and cadencing with a (PA) V-I Either a Parallel Period or a Contrasting Period Whats the Difference between a Antecedent phrase and a Consequent phrase? its the cadences are different thats all i see? The Contrasting Period has 2 theme's melodys that are different where the Parallel Period has just 1 theme and it repeated. If you have a 4 line phrase with 2 Contrasting Periods thats equals 4 themes that are all different?
