I have been searching for a comprehensive list of song classifications and examples, for the sake of developing a better understanding of them.
By song classification I mean using labels like:
Ballad, Torch song, Novelty song, Anthem etc.
I am not referring to structure (as in "AABA"), or subject (as in "break up song"), or genre (as in "country" or "show tunes").
I am looking for classifications of types that may or may not fall into multiple structures, subjects or genres.
Id like to start this as a thread that people can respond to by listing examples.
Also If you know of such lists already existing please provide links. thank you.
