This is the only example which presents Melody 1 by itself.
InExample 2,Example 3, andExample 4,
only the complete version, with Counter Melody, will be presented.
Comparison Of The Two Melodies
Jingle Bells - - - Oh! What Fun
General
Form=AA'
Level 0for eachA=0 + 3- - -Level 0for eachA=0 + 2
with Bar-lines placed atLevel -1, 2 bars per cell, 8 bars (4 cells) in eachA.
MeloHarmony
The two melodies evidently have the same harmonies, chords, "changes"
M5661 5664
The Harmony of the first 3 cells (six bars) is identical in theAand in theA',M566,
only the fourth cell being different,
cadencing to the DOMINANT in theA,M1, and to the TONIC in theA',M4.
MeloRhythm
The two sameEntitiesappear in bothAandA', with exactly the same words.
The first Entity =F=F= K2M(forcode) - - - The first Entity =K1F= K1M(forcode)
The second Entity with Pick-ups - - - The second Entity remains the same
Unfortunately, the number and size of Entities is the same in both melodies,
but the size of the note-values is quite different,
essentially s in Melody 1, s in Melody 2, and
the rhythmic association is also quite different,
reboundingin Melody 1F=F=,pick-upin Melody 2K1=F=.
The words of Melody 2 were taken from bars 5-8 of Melody 1.
MeloLines
A=Orbits 2 / 2 \ 3 / 2 \ 3 / 2 \ 0 / 0- - -A=Orbits 1 / 3 \ 2 / 1 \ 2 / 1 \ 2 / 1
A'=Orbits 2 / 2 \ 3 / 2 \ 3 / 2 \ 1 / 1- - -A'=Orbits 1 / 3 \ 2 / 1 \ 2 / 1 \ 2 / 1
(forcode)
Only one Orbit has been chosen in each bar,
whatever precedesOrbit 2being consideredOrbit 3.
During the first TONIC bar, of the first cell, the Orbit has relatively little
importance
because it does not resolve.
It was chosen for reasons of Sonorities,2 / 2with1 / 0(3).
However, the following choices were carefully planned :
in the second cell (bars 3-4)3 / 2with2 / 1,
in the third cell (bars 5-6)3 / 2with2 / 1,
in the fourth cell (bars 7-8)0 / 0with2 / 1, for theA
and (in bars 15-16)1 / 1with2 / 1for theA'.
Analysis Of Melody 2
General
Everything satisfactory in itsAA'form.
Melo-rhythm
Everything satisfactory in itsK1F= K1Mshape,
the same as that ofTwinkle, Twinkle.
Melo-harmony
Everything satisfactory in itsM5661 5664chord pattern,
Melo-lines
An abundance of2-1which fit in well with the Melo-harmony,
with a strong MozartAlleluiafeeling in the last 4 bars.
General Review of Entities
Everything satisfactory in the variety of their proportions, with
1 entity in the Melo-harmony,
but 4 entities in the Melo-rhythm and 4 entities in the Melo-lines.
