Verse–chorus form
Musical form common in popular music, used in blues and rock and roll since the 1950s, and predominant in rock music since the 1960s, in which the chorus is highlighted (unlike the older 32-bar form, in which the verse is highlighted)
Verse–chorus form is a musical form going back to the 1840s, in such songs as "Oh! Susanna" and "The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze". It became passé in the early 1900s, with advent of the AABA (with verse) form in the Tin Pan Alley days.

Verse–chorus form is a musical form going back to the 1840s, in such songs as "Oh! Susanna" and "The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze". It became passé in the early 1900s, with advent of the AABA (with verse) form in the Tin Pan Alley days. It became commonly used in blues and rock and roll in the 1950s, and predominant in rock music since the 1960s. In contrast to 32-bar form, which is focused on the refrain (contrasted and prepared by the B section), in verse–chorus form the chorus is highlighted (prepared and contrasted with the verse). The chorus often sharply contrasts the verse melodically, rhythmically, and harmonically, and assumes a higher level of dynamics and activity, often with added instrumentation. This is referred to as a "breakout chorus". See: arrangement.
