Creating Melody: The Essentials

Featured Websites

Theory On The Web / Melody  |  Melody  |  Basic Melodic Principles  |  Composing a Melody to a Given Harmonic Progression  |  Harmonizing a Melody  |
Learner.org  |  Video  |  Melody — the part of music we most often remember — is examined here both scientifically and poetically, from a strict sequence of pitches to a group of notes "in love with each other." We see and hear melodies shaped, elaborated, and developed within Western classical music, the Arabic maqam tradition, Irish dance music and sean-nós singing, and Indian raga.
