LET’S SING A
SONG!
A Chant ?
A melody (from Greek μελῳδία, melōidía, "singing,
chanting"), also tune, voice, or line, is a linear succession of
musical tones that the listener perceives as a single entity.
In its most literal sense, a melody is a combination
of pitch and rhythm, while more figuratively, the term can
include successions of other musical elements such as tonal
color. It may be considered the foreground to the
background accompaniment. A line or part need not be a
foreground melody.
