Verse-chorus form

Verse-chorus form is a musical form common in popular music and predominate in rock since the 1960s. In contrast to AABA form, which is focused on the verse (contrasted and prepared by the bridge), in verse-chorus form the chorus is highlighted (prepared and constrasted with the verse). (Covach 2005, p.71)

The chorus often sharply constrasts the verse melodically, rhythmically, and harmonically, and assumes a higher level of dynamics and activity, often with added instrumentation. See: arrangement.
