In poetry also
editI'm listeninng to an explanation of the Gospel of Thomas and a new theory that its sayings are poems written in arch form (It's at http://thegodabovegod.com/ and the segment is "Bob North on Secrets of the Gospel of Thomas"). Should the present article include mention of this? Is it the same basic phenomenon? __meco (talk) 11:25, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Samuel Barber's Opus 11
editCan anyone explain how the slow movement of Barber's string quartet, a.k.a. Adagio for Strings in his orchestral form, constitutes an arch form? I keep hearing it described as such, but I don't think the fact that the beginning section comes back at the end can constitute an arch form, otherwise AABA songs, ternary form, rondo (ABACA), and Carl Orff's Carmina Burana all would be considered arch forms. There are no contrasting sections within Barber's composition. AskohlerOpus111 (talk) 16:36, 18 September 2025 (UTC)
