Melody
This article is about melody in music. For other senses of this word, see
melody (disambiguation). In
music, a melody, also tune, voice, or line, is a series of
linear events or a
succession, not a
simultaneity as in a
chord (see
harmony). However, this succession must contain change of some kind and be perceived as a single entity (possibly
Gestalt) to be called a melody. Most specifically this includes patterns of changing
pitches and
durations, while most generally it includes any interacting patterns of changing events or
quality. "Melody is said to result where there are interacting patterns of changing events occurring in time."
