Thanks Gareth. Just the video I needed to see. I've never considered this before but constructing melodies using these three components gives composers the opportunity for three or more different development phrases/sections.
That was interesting. I've always thought of those ideas in a more macro sense. I like having each movement of a piece have its own personality. But I never thought of breaking that down further to give parts of melody lines their own personality as well.
Hi. Gosh I love these videos. I have a question. So, I'm composing an orchestra piece, trying to make it sound closer to later Beethoven and early Robert Schumann orchestration. The pice is in C major, there's a loud chord on almost all instruments the strings stand out mostly. Then I have the horns (French Horn and Tuba) leading this sort of question phrase. So I'm using for that part mostly note C and E. My question, I don't want to take away from my horns, but they need something more, which winds would compliment them? If you read all of this, thank you so much.❤
Hello, Maestro. May I (if YES - how) send to you a score of an A CAPPELLA choral piece so you could analyze it and tell us what components had been used for the short (two pages) SATB choral composition. Thank you in advance. Gregory A Smirnov California

Glad it’s useful
Thank you for a very nice video about components of a strong melody, Gareth! :)
A pleasure
I like the visual language of music form and how that be used to compose a melody. Will be checking the website!

It’s a useful deconstruction in terms of building a melody that contains elements for development.
Wow that gave me a fresh look at composition. Thx

The first 1.5 bars, is that was some refere to a mannheim rocket?
It might be implied unintentionally!

In his day, Mozart wrote many a bangin' tune :-)
He sure did
Quite thought provoking❤

Also harmonic unity / cadential completeness: TSTD

That’s great. Try adding Clarinets to Horns.

The first G in the second bar is climbing over the wall. And thinks, what happens next? ^^

3 act structure

Interesting you used Mozart, would’ve thought you would’ve used Schubert, possibly the greatest melody writer in history.
Could easily have done so.
