Sequences of musical notes that form the main tune of a song or piece of music; pleasing arrangements of sounds.
From Greek melōidia, from melos (song) and ōidia (singing). The concept has remained remarkably consistent across cultures as organized sequences of pitched sounds.
Melodies are universal - every culture has them, and babies respond to melodic patterns before they can speak. Scientists believe our brains are wired to find certain interval relationships naturally pleasing, which explains why some melodies feel instantly familiar.
