Music Talks 2 - From Intervals to Melody

In our history, melody is the great absentee in musical theory books, always confined to the background. Yet, it is the central element in most musical experiences: the first that sticks to the listener's memory and the one that most of all connotates the identity of a song. Through the use of a great number of examples - many of which are quite new in a theory book - this text traces a path towards the discovery of the different melodic typologies and the power of melody, meant as a narration of emotions. It also provides a series of ideas aimed to be an inspiration for those who want to make their own melodies more interesting, and a call for a new compositive perspective based on the melody. In the appendix, a set of exercises will allow the reader to test his or her understanding of the proposed method of analysis.
