It is, after all, a non-romantic work ( even with the big, juicy melody of the second movement ) ; ;

Brahms wrote to Clara Schumann that the inspiration for the dramatic entry of the horn in the introduction to the last movement of his First Symphony was an alphorn melody he heard while vacationing in the Rigi area of Switzerland.

Adams begins the movement with a repeated, scale-like eight-note melody in the violin and going into the second measure, it appears as if he will continue this, but instead of starting at the bottom again, the violin continues upward.

The gentle, expressive melody heard at the beginning on woodwind and horns ( after the piano ’ s heralding introductory chords ) bears the material for most of the argument in the first movement.

The slow movement of the First Piano Sonata is based on the Scottish folk melody " Ca the Yowes to the Knowes ", as is that of the Concerto for Double String Orchestra.

The slow movement of the First String Quartet opens with " an extended arch of lyric melody " ( Ian Kemp ), which was a direct response to the experience of falling in love: " all that love flowed out in the slow movement of my First String Quartet, an unbroken span of lyrical music in which all four instruments sing ardently from start to finish " was Tippett's own description.

The fourth movement of the Second Symphony contains a passage consisting of a long arching line for unison violins ( followed by ' cellos ), accompanied by swirling woodwind, which the composer described as " a very long melody ".

Over twenty years later Tippett returned to writing melody of deceptive simplicity in the slow movement of the Triple Concerto.

Throughout the movement, there is a simplicity of presentation of the melody and themes, which Robert Schumann compared to " Beethoven's epigrams ", ideas which could be extended, had the composer chosen to.

Within the symphonic movement, the "" melody is a bright exposition in contrast with the slower and darker introduction.

The movement begins very softly with a broad D-major chorale melody, which slowly builds to a loud and majestic conclusion culminating on repeated D major chords with bold statements on the timpani.

Bartók researched folk melodies, and their influence is felt throughout the work ; for example, the second main theme of the first movement, as played by the 1st oboe, resembles a folk melody, with its narrow range and almost haphazard rhythm.

The fourth movement, called Intermezzo interrotto by Bartók, consists of a flowing melody with changing time signatures, intermixed with a theme parodying and ridiculing the march tune in Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 7 " Leningrad ".

The title is thought to derive from the melody and counterpoint of the first movement ( between the strings and cor anglais ), which musically allude to a question followed by an answer and paralleling the disputatio system of debate.

Toward the end of the movement, the piano launches into a long cadenza before the orchestra joins in with one more melody and builds for the exciting finish.

The movement begins with the main melody played by the violas and cellos.

Julian Mincham interpretes the " richly embroidered organ melody ", which continues throughout the movement, as a " virtually continuous stream of goodness ".

The movement ends in a long coda that re-introduces the new melody of the development section.

Moving away from the patterns of song structure and melody of much rock music in America and Britain, some in the movement also drove the music to a more mechanical and electronic sound ( a group of 5 expatriate Americans, The Monks, who toured playing beat music clubs throughout Germany, were also exploring this industrial / mechanical sound, as evidenced on their 1965 German-only release LP " Black Monk Time ").

Its melody comes from the final movement of Niccolò Paganini's Violin Concerto No. 2 in B minor, where the tune was reinforced by a little handbell.

The second movement, marked adagio cantabile ( slowly, singing ), in G major, features a solo cello playing a melody against simple chords from the rest of the strings.

# The second movement, Variazioni, begins with a melody in the horn section.

#: The first movement revolves around a diatonic melody that soon develops into complex pianistic figuration.

The moments of sung melody, in the usual sense, come most often when the character is actually supposed to be singing, as in folk songs and liturgical chants.

Once he has been identified, however, a new melody is used to accompany his narrative, a bleak motif with barren octaves creating a rather ancient effect:

His sinuous melody is a sort of naive transcendence of all experience.

He plays his sax principally for beauty of tone, rather than for scintillating flights of meaningless improvisations, and he has a quiet way of getting back and restating the melody after the improvising is over.

Among the particular gems in this collection is the impudent opening song of `` The Garrick Gaieties '', an impressive forecast of the wit and melody that were to come from Rodgers and Hart in the years that followed ; ;

The well-known " Ranz des Vaches " ( score ; audio ) is a traditional Swiss melody often heard on the alphorn.

Orchestration differs in that it is only adapting music for an orchestra or musical ensemble while arranging " involves adding compositional techniques, such as new thematic material for introductions, transitions, or modulations, and endings ... Arranging is the art of giving an existing melody musical variety " ( ibid ).

* Cerdd Dant ( string music ) or Canu Penillion ( verse singing ) is the art of vocal improvisation over a given melody in Welsh musical tradition.

It is mainly homophonic — melody above chordal accompaniment ( but counterpoint is by no means forgotten, especially later in the period ).

His next important breakthrough was in the Opus 33 string quartets ( 1781 ), where the melodic and the harmonic roles segue among the instruments: it is often momentarily unclear what is melody and what is harmony.

In the celebrations marking the return of democracy in March 1990 at Santiago's Estadio Nacional de Chile, the anthem was played in its present melody, raised to F Major ( the Royal Musical Official Version of the anthem ) which is the original melody of the second anthem by Carnicer, but using the 1847 lyrics as text, save for the original chorus.

This tango melody is also " No Other Love Have I " in the musical " Me and Juliet " and a popular hit for Perry Como during the 1950s.

The words " God save Emperor Francis " were inspired by the British anthem, though not the melody, which is from the ( Croatian ) folk tradition.

Early epic poetry was also accompanied by music, and pitch changes associated with the accented Greek must have highlighted the melody, though the exact mechanism is still a topic of discussion.

The earliest reported example of this musical form is the song " Kalenda Maya ", supposedly written by the troubadour Raimbaut de Vaqueiras ( 1180-1207 ) to the melody of an estampida played by French jongleurs.

Fiddlers tend to play fast and make heavy use of staccato bowing and may from time to time " play the bass ," meaning a second fiddler may play a melody an octave below where a first fiddler is playing it.

In The Oxford Companion to Music, Percy Scholes devotes about four pages to this subject, pointing out the similarities to an early plainsong melody, although the rhythm is very distinctly that of a galliard, and he gives examples of several such dance tunes that bear a striking resemblance to " God Save the King / Queen ".

On the other hand, during rehearsals, workmen in the theater stopped what they were doing during Va, pensiero and applauded at the conclusion of this haunting melody while the growth of the " identification of Verdi's music with Italian nationalist politics " is judged to have begun in the summer 1846 in relation to a chorus from Ernani in which the name of one of its characters, " Carlo ", was changed to " Pio ", a reference to Pope Pius IX's grant of an amnesty to political prisoners.
