What is Understanding Melody Contour and Motion about?

The melody is the most important and memorable part of a song. It is made up of a series of notes that form a melodic line. The shape or contour of the melody rises and falls, creating an arch. Melodies move in either conjunct or disjunct motion depending on the distance between notes. Melodies are divided into phrases, similar to grammatical phrases, that group notes into a melodic idea but are not a complete melody on their own. Composers vary phrases to maintain interest.
