Chaconne, Chaconne

Alexander Silbiger, "Chaconne", The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians , ed. S. Sadie and J. Tyrrell (London: Macmillan, 2001). . By the early eighteenth century the chaconne had evolved into a slow triple meter musical form. The chaconne has been understood by some nineteenth and early twentieth-century theoristsin a rather arbitrary wayto be a set of variations on a harmonic progression, as opposed to a set of variations on a melodic bass pattern (to which is likewise artificially assigned the term passacaglia ), Percy Goetschius, The Larger Forms of Musical Composition: An Exhaustive Explanation of the Variations, Rondos, and Sonata Designs, for the General Student of Musical Analysis, and for the Special Student of Structural Composition ( York : G. Schirmer, 1915), 29 and 40.
