444. THE FOUR VARIATIONS-PARTS MORPHOLOGY OF A MELODY OVER A MELODIC THEME OR SENTENCE THAT FITS TO THE 15-SYLLABLES POETRY

 A1= 1ST IDEA MELODIC THEME OR SENTENCE (INNOVATION) , SYLLABLES 1-4

A2=1ST IDEA AGAIN REPEAT OR VARIATE -ESCALATE (MIMIC), SYLLABLES 4-8

A3=MUTATION-CONTRASTING-CONTINUATION (ASSIMILATION 2ND INOVATION) SYLLABLES 9-12

A4 =CLOSURE WITH ASCENZA OR CADENZA 

(COMPLETION  INTEGRATION ) SYLLABLES 13-15

We may permute the 4 parts to 

A1= 1ST IDEA MELODIC THEME OR SENTENCE (INNOVATION) , SYLLABLES 1-4

A3=MUTATION-CONTINUATION -CONTRAST IDEA (ASSIMILATION 2ND INOVATION) SYLLABLES 4-8

A2=1ST IDEA AGAIN REPEAT OR VARIATE (MIMIC), SYLLABLES 9-12

A4 =CLOSURE WITH ASCENZA OR CADENZA  (COMPLETION  INTEGRATION ) SYLLABLES 13-15





This morphology can be either as melodic themes within a single chord , or as melodic themes as chord transitions or even over 3 chord transitions.

After this macroscopic morphology of the melody we may focus on the intervals statistical frequency in the melody (chromatic, melodic harmonic intervals). The order with which the melodic intervals appear in the melody corresponds to the harmony. 
Here a relevant video



Finally the other factor in the melody is the wave-up wave-down dynamics and the emotional meaning he convey.

THE rest 5 BASIC FACTORS IN THE PERCEPTION AND COMPOSITION OF MELODIC SENTENCE (THEME) 

The rest 5 basic factors are


2) Chromatic, melodic , harmonic character. Analogy of intervals of 2nds (chromatic) 3rds or 6th (melodic) and 4th or 5th (harmonic ) It is the arpeggio-tail aspect of the melodic theme

3) Chord harmony. Order of appearance of intervals of 3rds which is essentially the harmony of the underlying chord(s)

4) Cycles dynamics. Wave-up, Wave-down dynamics or topology of the melody (structure of "Dolphin words" as termed elsewhere in this book). This includes cadenzas and ascents. 

5) Power of 2 rhythmic expansion. The use of orders of rhythmic speed as powers of 2

6) Instrument or voice timbre. The timbre and nature of the playing instrument (continue sound, string or wind etc)
