first tone (*), up (u), down (d), repeat (r)
rhythm: time interval
melody + rhythm = metre (time signature)
Prosody divided into 3 distinct parts: (a) the rhythm or tempo of speech; (b) changes in intensity or loudness of the voice; (c) changes in pitch (intonation). These are 3 of the four lowest-level factors studied in music theory in deciphering the "meaning of music". The fourth factor is timbre, or pitch quality. Timbre in speech related to the so-called formants.
Pitch studied in two aspects: vertical changes (harmony); horizontal changes (melody)
harmonic interval; melodic interval
harmonic chord; melodic chord
cf. Tone of voice and mind, cook
