PRINCIPLES OF COMPOSING MUSIC
IN AZERBAIJANI MODES IN FOLK STYLE
I. STRUCTURE OF PERFECT QUARTES
4. Use of rhythmical figures from the group of the first sentence in the 5-th-6-th bars:
5. The response sentence should be repeated. In the course of repetition variants are allowed. Repetition requires some kind of linking with the beginning of the response sentence.
An example with the repetition of the variant:
6. Examples 88, 89, 90 refer to the first section of the mode "Rast" called ''Maye-Rast". The peculiar feature of this section is that the first phrase ends in the tonic in the beginning of the 2-nd bar. Before the transition to the next section (for the further development of the musical work) it is possible to compose one more period in "Maye-Rast", and it is also possible to be satisfied with one period and pass to the next section. Transitions from one section to another are possible without their obligatory succession. Violations of succession of sections are permitted, but it is recommended to keep to the rules of succession from section to section during the initial exercises while composing in modes.
The next section after "Maye-Rast" is "Husseini". The peculiar feature of "Husseini" is that the first phrase ends with the upper quarte of the tonic in the beginning of the 2-nd bar. The response phrase may also end in the same quarte. In this case it requires the variant of the first sentence with the third or tonic quinte stop in the 4-th bar . Then follows one of the variants of the response sentence borrowed from the section of "Maye-Rast".
