Melodic motion is the quality of movement of a melody, including nearness or farness of succession pitch (music) or note (music) in a melody. This may be described as conjunct or disjunct, stepwise or skipwise, respectively. Bruno Nettl (1956, p.51-53) describes various types of melodic movement or contour: *Ascending *Descending *Undulating: equal movement in both of the above directions *Pendulum: extreme undulation which uses a large range and large intervals *Tile, terrace, or cascading: a number of descending phrases in which each phrase begins on a higher pitch than the last ended *Arc *Rise: may be considered a musical form, a contrasting section of higher pitch, a "musical plateau" Other examples include: *Double tonic: smaller pendular motion in one direction These all may be modal frame (music) or parts of modal frames. ==Source== *Nettl, Bruno (1956).
