Presentation transcript:

Melody “It is the melody which is the charm of music, and it is that which is most difficult to produce. The invention of a fine melody is a work of genius.” – Joseph Haydn

Defining Melody: Range – the distance between the lowest and highest notes Narrow (as in a children’s song that is easy to sing) Medium Wide (as in some melodies played on an instrument)

Defining Melody: Contour – the overall shape as the melody turns upward, downward, or remains static. The contour can be visualized as a line graph. Ascending Descending Arch Wave

Defining Melody: Interval – the distance between any two pitches. Melodies that move principally by small intervals in a joined, connected manner are called conjunct. Melodies that move in larger, disconnected intervals are described as disjunct.

Examples

Beethoven, Symphony No. 9 Range: narrow 5 notes Contour: wavelike Interval: conjunct

Joy to the World Range: medium 8 notes Contour: descending Interval: conjunct

Star-Spangled Banner Range: Wide 10 notes Contour: wavelike Interval: disjunct

Structure of Melody: Phrase – a unit of meaning within a larger structure, like a sentence.

Structure of Melody: Cadence – the end of a musical phrase, a resting place. Incomplete Complete

Structure of Melody: Rhyme Scheme – describes the similarity in sound of the last syllables in each line of text.

Structure of Melody: Climax – the high point in a melodic line, which usually represents a peak in intensity as well as in range.

Structure of Melody: Countermelody – More complex music can feature several simultaneous melodies. Sometimes the relative importance of one melody over the other is clear, and the added tune is called a countermelody (literally “against a melody”) Example: Trio section of Stars and Stripes
