Da Capo is a musical term in
Italian, meaning from the beginning, often abbreviated D.C.. It is a
composer or publisher's directive to repeat the previous part of music. In small pieces this might be the same thing as a
repeat, but in larger works D.C. might occur after one or more repeats of small sections, indicating a return to the very beginning. The resulting structure of the piece is generally in
ternary form. Sometimes the
composer describes the part to be repeated, for example: Menuet da capo. In
opera, where an aria of this structure is called a
da capo aria, the repeated section is often adorned with
grace notes.
