Question

Which of these excerpts is not an example of a parlor song?

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks: Which of these excerpts is not an example of a parlor song? The options are labeled by ordinal words rather than showing the actual excerpts themselves, which means we must rely on the characteristics of parlor songs rather than content specifics.

Option 1: The first. In a typical analysis, whether the first labeled excerpt fits the parlor-song mold depends on features such as intimate vocal presentation, simple piano accompaniment, sentimental or domestic themes, and a structure suited to casual, domestic performance. If the excerpt emphasizes grandiose orchestration, avant-garde experimentation, or lyrics aimed at public concert settings, one would argue it does not exemplify a parlor song. Without the actual excerpt, we cannot confirm these traits for “The first.”

Option 2: The second. Similar reasoning applies: a parlor song usually centers on approachable melody, clear lyric storytelling, and a piano-friendly arrangement. If the second excerpt leans toward complex harmonic language, theatrical drama, or highly virtuosic vocal display, it would stray from the parlor-song profile. Again, the lack of the actual excerpt means we must generalize.

Option 3: The third. The third excerpt would be judged on its domestic, sentimental, and singer-friendly qualities. Parlor songs are designed for home entertainment and social singing; departures such as heavy orchestration, experimental form, or the presence of overt stage-musical conventions would indicate a non-parlor nature. Without seeing the text or music, we rely on the typical parlor-song criteria to evaluate.

Option 4: The fourth. Given the context, this option is the one identified in the provided answer data as not fitting the parlor-song category. If the fourth excerpt shows characteristics unlikely for parlor songs—such as requiring large-scale ensemble, political or abstract themes, or highly formal concert-venue presentation—it would not be classified as a parlor song. The designation here suggests this excerpt departs from the intimate, home-centered, and accessible style associated with parlor repertoire.

Note on missing content: Because the actual excerpts aren’t included in the prompt, the analysis above hinges on general attributes of parlor songs. In a complete assessment, we would compare the musical texture, lyrical content, performance context, and accompaniment style of each labeled excerpt directly. The provided answer option indicates that the fourth excerpt is the one not matching the parlor-song characteristics, which aligns with the expectation that parlor songs tend to be intimate, piano-friendly, and domestically oriented, rather than large-scale or theatrically complex.
