“Music creates order out of chaos: for rhythm imposes unanimity upon the divergent, melody imposes continuity upon the disjointed, and harmony imposes compatibility upon the incongruous”
Yehudi Menuhin
“There are not more than five musical notes, yet the combinations of these five give rise to more melodies than can ever be heard.”
Sun Tzu
“There's usually a rhythm and a melody in my head, and that creates an emotional state.”
Stephan Jenkins
“Melody is an important part of all the music I've written. I think that's why it has been so successful. It's music that sticks in your head.”
Chuck Mangione
“Not every end is the goal. The end of a melody is not its goal, and yet if a melody has not reached its end, it has not reached its goal. A parable.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees, / In some melodious plot / of beechen green, and shadows numberless, / Singest of summer in full-throated ease.”
John Keats
“A melody is not merely something you can hum”
Aaron Copland
