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.
For example, in the Minuet in Haydn's String Quartet op. 76 no. 6, the Minuet is in standard binary form (section A and B) while the trio is in free form and not in two repeated sections. Haydn labeled the B section "Alternative", a label used in some Baroque pieces (though most such pieces were in proper compound ternary form). [7]
"Over the Rainbow" (Arlen/Harburg) exemplifies the 20th-century popular 32-bar song.

Songs that use the same harmony (chords) for the verse and chorus, such as the twelve bar blues, though the melody is different and the lyrics feature different verses and a repeated chorus, are in simple verse–chorus form. Examples include: "Shake, Rattle, and Roll" by Big Joe Turner (1954) [8]
Within classical European music, the Song and Trio form is often referred as Compound Ternary form. This is where one of the Ternary form sections can be subdivided into two subsections such as: I-II-I or A-B1-B2-A.
