Lulled with sound of sweetest melody.
Shak.
2. (Mus.) A rhythmical succession of single tones, ranging for the most
part within a given key, and so related together as to form a musical
whole, having the unity of what is technically called a musical
thought, at once pleasing to the ear and characteristic in expression.
Melody consists in a succession of single tones; harmony is a
consonance or agreement of tones, also a succession of consonant
musical combinations or chords.
