Aspects of melody: range narrow, medium, wide, contour level, undulating, ascending, descending, arch-shaped, motion conjunct & disjunct, ornamentation unornamented, highly ornamented. Klangfarbenmelodie a technique where instruments maintaining constant pitches drop in and out of the orchestra, creating a melody of tone colours. Phrase a self-contained portion of a melody. Antecedent, consequent two musical phrases, the second of which is a concluding response to or resolution of the first. Motive a short fragment of melody or rhythm used in constructing a long section of music. Pitch the relative position (high or low) of a musical sound, depending on its frequency (rate of vibration); the faster the vibrations, the higher the pitch.
