FORM A phrase in music is defined in Basic Music (TC 12-41/ NAVEDTRA 10244). Additionally, a phrase should convey a definite feeling of beginning and ending (repose). Repose is accomplished by melodic and/ or harmonic cessation (caesura), called a cadence. Two phrases form a period; the first called an antecedent phrase, the second called a consequent phrase. When there is similarity between the two phrases, they are parallel.
