Talk:Melody type
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If it isn't too late, it would be better to rename this "melodic type", following the lead of Harry Power's classic article in the New Grove on Mode and Melodic Type.
- It's not too late, it can be moved; however, I'm not sure that is the more common term. Google gives 10,800 hits[1] for "melody type," including Britannica and a number of references for Middle Eastern, Indian, and Indonesian music (that seem unrelated to this. "Melodic type" gets only 800.[2] I chose "melody type" for the article because that was the entry in the Harvard Dictionary of Music. How does the content compare with Harry Power's article (which I assume is far more detailed)? Rigadoun 15:21, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Weisen
The link to Weisen currently points to a disambiguation page, none of the entries seem to make sense as the desired topic. -- 21:36, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] An unclear sentence
At the opening paragraph the sentence "In non-improvised music, such as codified liturgical music, it is still usually clear how the developed from set patterns" is unclear. Should it say "... liturgical music, it is still usually clear the melody is developed from set patterns"? Udi Raz (talk) 11:55, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
