In this film composer Howard Goodall looks at: melody’s basic elements, at the common rhythmic patterns that have been used by musicians from all cultures, at how familiar patterns of chord progressions give all kinds of music – from classical to popular.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

–\tWhy does melody affect us so deeply, from the moment we are born?
\n–\tHow does a melody actually work?
\n–\tWhy are some melodic shapes common to all cultures across the world?
\n–\tCan successful melodies be written at random?
\n–\tIf not, what are the familiar melodic patterns composers of all types of music have fallen back on again and again, and why do they work?
\n–\tWhy do some rhythms make us want to dance, while others make us feel tranquil?
\n–\tHow does rhythm ‘work’ when there is no obvious pulse, as in much classical music?
\n–\tWhat links African drumming to J S Bach?
\n–\tWhy do virtually all popular singers sing ahead of the beat?
\n–\tAnd how is it that a tiny Caribbean island has produced a rhythm that dominates popular music the world over?
\n–\tWhy do the same chord patterns appear again and again, from Renaissance Italy to the latest chart hit?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
