Answer 2

Forms include; rondo, fugue, sonata, theme and variation, the same as absolute music. Program music often used irregular forms to relate the music to literature or gave a pictorial idea of what the piece was about. In that the forms became more descriptive and even though that actual form may be the same as absolute music the names given were; program symphony, concert overture, symphonic or tone poem, and incidental music.

Answer 3

One characteristic is the use of 'motifs', brief phrases of a few notes, or a measure or two, that are associated with a character, place, emotion or thought. These motifs recur in order to highlight or reinforce an unfolding plot or concept. Program music is very often but not necessarily heard in the context of an Opera, Ballet, musical or other kind of theater piece where a specific story is told. Some works might seem to be 'absolute' music, free from programmatic elements, but really are programmatic to some extent.

Answer 4

Program music refers to music to portray a certain setting or atmosphere. Program music does not rely on the story line to convey emotions. Some examples of program music are symphonies, tone poems, and concerti.
