What music form is Belle of the Ball, First Day of Spring & Bugler's Holiday, by Leroy Anderson?

Asked by oneSasyRN (350points) October 4th, 2013

I have to break down several songs for a class and my biggest hurdle is form. I have read and reread the definition, but still get stuck. Some songs are so long, I can’t figure them out…

Instead of reading and rereading the definition, try using your ear and listening to the themes and variations…melodic, rhythmic and keys…repetitions and changes. Do you have a keyboard where you can tinkle out the various melodies?
