melody

1.A coherent succesion of single pitches.

-We percive the pitches of a melody in a relation to each other, in the same way we hear the words of a sentence-not singly but as an entire thought.-
Melodies can have diffrent ranges, movments, and shapes.

The melody in "Joy to the World" is conjunct.
