Pocket symphony
For the album by Air, see Pocket Symphony.
A visual representation of the structure to "Good Vibrations" (1966). It shows how the song develops without the guidance of overdetermined formal patterns.[1]
A pocket symphony is a song with extended form.[2] Its coinage is often credited to English journalist Derek Taylor, who used it to describe the Beach Boys' 1966 single "Good Vibrations".[3][4] The description of a "pocket" symphony has been used in print since as early as 1928.[5]
