Melody

In music, a melody is a sequence of notes, each heard separately.

The main theme is called the melody. It consists of one or more musical
phrases, and is usually repeated throughout the song in various forms.
Different musical styles use melody in different ways. For example:

   * Rock music and other forms of popular music tend to pick one or two
     melodies and stick with them; most variety occurs in the lyrics.

   * In western classical music, composers introduce an initial melody and
     then create variations. Classical music often has several melodic
     layers, such as those in a fugue. Richard Wagner popularized the
     concept of a leitmotif: a melody associated with a certain idea, person
     or place.

   * Jazz musicians use the melody line as a starting point for
     improvisation.

   * Indian classical music relies heavily on melody and rhythm, and not so
     much on harmony as the above forms.
