==Origin==
Italian, there follows, from ''seguire'' to follow, from [[Latin]] ''sequi''
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/18th_century 1740]
==Definitions==
*1: [[proceed]] to what follows without pause —used as a [[direction]] in [[music]]
*2: [[perform]] the music that follows like that which has preceded —used as a direction in music
==Description==
A '''segue''' is a smooth [[transition]] from one [[topic]] or section to the next.
In [[music]], segue is a [[direction]] to the performer. It means continue (the next section) without a pause. It comes from the Italian "it follows". The term ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attacca attacca]'' is also used in classical music.
For written music it implies a [[transition]] from one section to the next without any break. In [[improvisation]], it is often used for transitions created as a part of the [[performance]], leading from one section to another.
In live performance, a segue can occur during a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jam_session jam session], where the [[improvisation]] of the end of one [[song]] [[progresses]] into a new song. Segues can even occur between groups of musicians during live [[performance]]. For example, as one band finishes its set, members of the following act replace members of the first band one by one, until a complete band swap occurs.
In recorded music, a segue is a seamless [[transition]] between one [[song]] and another. The [[effect]] is often [[achieved]] through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatmatching beatmatching], especially on [[dance]] and disco recordings, or through arrangements that create the effect of a musical suite, a classical style also used in many [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_rock progressive rock recordings].
Some album notations distinguish track listings though the use of [[symbols]], such as a >, →, or / to indicate [[songs]] that [[flow]] seamlessly.
In [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journalism journalism], a segue is a [[method]] of smoothly transitioning from one [[topic]] to another. A segue allows the host or [[writer]] to naturally proceed to another topic without jarring the [[audience]]. A good segue makes the subject [[change]] seem like a natural extension of the [[discussion]].
