Melody / Symbiosis / Archetypes / in Melo-Lines




Notation
In the Melo-Rhythm Archetypes we used note-values with bar-lines of different levels.
In the Melo-Harmony Archetypes we used the chord patterns themselves.
In the contour Archetypes of Melo-Lines we will use scale degrees,
     mostly in the Diatonic Major Mode.

Ah, vous dirai-je, maman

Two gold medals
Twinkle, Twinkleseems to be first here again,
     although its position might not be as solid as in the Melo-Rhythm Archetypes.
With repeated notes counting as a single longer note, we have1 5 6 5 4 3 2 1.

Derivatives
Very little change transforms this into a descending scale, 1 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
     which we find inMarie Calumet,Joy To The World, and theNutcracker Pas-de-deux.

Au clair de la lune

Two silver medals
This second Archetype consists in starting on degree1, up to3, and back down to1, twice,
          which we find inAu clair de la luneas1 2 3 2 1 3 2 1, with a2missing.
     InFais dodo, with3 2 1 2 3 2 1, the first quarter is missing,
          as it is inGo Tell Aunt Rhody, with an extra4.

Top Secret

Legal Restriction
Possible court litigation prevents us from divulging a contour archetype of thirds,
      4 2 3 1 2 7 1, possibly in the form 2 4 3 1 2 7 1.
