WHAT DOES MELODY MEAN? MELODY IS CATCHY OR APPEASING ARRANGEMENT OF SOUNDS.

ABOUT MELODIES CREATING A MELODY CAN BE VERY SIMPLE AND A LOT OF FUN. HERE ARE SIMPLE GUIDELINES TO CREATING A MELODY: 1. KEEP THE RHYTHM EASY AND SIMPLE WHEN YOU START. 2. THE CONTOUR IS THE SHAPE OF THE LINE. 3. THE PEAK IS THE HIGHEST OR LOWEST POINT. 4. THERE SHOULD ONLY BE ONE PEAK. 5. THE PEAK CAN OCCUR ON THE ARCH WHICH VARIES FROM THE LOW TO HIGH.

LEARNING MORE ABOUT MELODIES INTERVERTED ARCHES ARE ONES THAT ARE SIMPLY UPSIDE DOWN. MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE UP YOUR PITCH OR ELESE THE MELODY WON’T BE INTERESTING. YOU CAN TELL THE PITCH IS GETTING HIGHER OR LOWER BY THE CONTOUR OF THE MELODY. IF ITS HIGHER THE LINE WILL GO UP AND IF IT’S A LOWER PITCH THE LINE WILL GO LOWER. A DISJUNCT MELODY IS ONE THAT RISES AND FALLS VERY QUICKLY WITH LARGE INTERVALS. A CONJUNCT HAS SMALL CHANGES IN THE PITCHES. MIXED HAS BOTH QUALITIES OF A DISJUNCT AND A CONJUNCT IN IT.

MELODIC PHRASES MELODIES ARE MADE UP OF A LOT OF PHRASES. A MUSICAL PHRASE IS A GROUP OF NOTES THAT SOUND APPEASING TO THE EAR. VARING THE RHYTHM AND HARMONY OF THE MELODY HELPS COMPELLING AND HELPS IT SOUND PLEASANT. AN ANTECEDENT PHRASE IS THE FIRST PHRASE OF A PERIOD. A CONSEQUENT IS THE SECOUND PHRASE OF A PEROIOD. PHRASES WILL OFTEN RUN INTO EACH OTHER OR BE CUT SHORT IN A MELODY.

MOTIF A MOTHIF IS SHORT MUSICAL IDEA THAT REOCCURS IN A MUSICAL PIEACE. MOTIF ARE USUALLY SHORTER THAN PHRASES. THEY REOCCUR THE SAME OR SOMETIMES DIFFERENT (SHORTER, FASTER, HIGHER LOWER). A CERTAIN TYPE OF MOTIF CALLED A LEITMOTIF CAN BE LONGER AND IS ASSOCIATED WITH A PARTICULAR THING OR PERSON IN OPERA.

COUNTERPOINTS AND THEMES COUNTERPOINTS IN MELODIES ARE THE COMBINATIONS OF TWO MELODIC LINES. MUSIC THAT CONTAIN COUNTERPOINTS CAN ALSO BE REFERED AS A POLYPHNY. COUNTERPOINTS ARE USUALLY IN INTRUSMENTAL MUSIC AND POLYPHNY ARE USED IN VOCAL MUSIC. THEMES IN MUSIC IS A COMPLETE TUNE OR MELODY WHICH IS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE AND THAT SIGNIFIES WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE MUSIC. LONGER WORKS HAVE MORE THAN ONE THEME. THEY ARE AT LEAST ONE PHRASE LONG. Theme from Beethoven's Symphony No. 9
