Complete the opening below to form a twelve-bar melody in ternary form for any single-line melodic instrument of your choice - NSC Music - Question 2 - 2023 - Paper 1

The tempo indication for the melody is Moderato.

The melody is structured in ternary form (A-B-A').

In section A, the melody begins with a simple phrase, possibly including an imperfect cadence to create a sense of anticipation by concluding the first phrase in B♭.

Section B follows, developing the material further, ideally modulating to F major for a perfect cadence, before resolving back to B♭ in section A'. This section should mirror the first, providing a sense of closure.

Dynamic Indications:

• The A sections may start at Piano (soft) and build to Mezzo-forte (moderately loud) in the B section to enhance contrast.

Articulation Indicators:

• Use staccato notes in the A sections for a playful feel, contrasting with legato phrases in section B, where smoother transitions are desirable.
