Rhythm Charts, pt. IV - Da Capo

In the last several posts I have been discussing rhythm charts and symbols and the terminology associated with them. This month I'll continue with this series of posts we'll examine Da Capo's.

· Da Capo (abbrev. D.C.): an Italian term which means “from the beginning” or “from the head”. It is abbreviated D.C. and directs the player to repeat the section from a beginning or possibly from the start of another section.

· Da Capo al Fine (abbrev. D.C. al Fine): section should be repeated from the beginning to the word Fine (followed by double bar lines).

Next month I'll be talking Coda's - til then!
