"Sentence (music)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
In music a sentence is "the smallest period in a musical composition that can give in any sense the impression of a complete statement." It "may be defined as a period containing two or more phrases, and most frequently ending with some form of perfect cadence." (Macpherson n.d.: 25)

Some theorists consider a sentence to be a musical form distinct from a period. It consists of a presentation phrase (a repeated motive) followed by a continuation phrase which ends in either a half cadence or an authentic cadence."

Also"PHRASE"
pls see the definition in :

http://www.classicalworks.com/html/glossary.html

"Phrase - A single line of music played or sung. A musical sentence".

agree  Fuad Yahya: It is hard to tell which term fits best (period, sentence, or phrase) without actual context (not just verbal context, but musical context) because these terms are fluid, with broad overlap.

  -> Yes, Thanks a lot..but this definition would help in determining, of course that is up to the asker & her context:"Phrase - A single line of music played or sung. A musical sentence"
