Besides these techniques and guidelines to design catchy melodies, this task also requires lots of experimenting, trial and error, playing your melodies over and over again, and making small changes here and there until you're happy with the final product.

Patriotic Melodies tells the stories behind many of the songs that have now become part of the American national heritage. A combination of hymns, national songs, music of the theater, radio and television, military themes, and poetry, all of this music demonstrates that while over history many things have changed, this expression of pride and hope remain a constant part of the American experience.

Only a portion of the most famous patriotic melodies of the United States are highlighted. Items featured include recordings, sheet music, manuscript scores, song sheets, and other print materials. These items do not represent the Library of Congress' entire holdings on a song, but rather a selection. Selection of the songs and their accompanying items was based not only on what songs were the most significant in American history, but also on what unique items the Library had in its collections to illustrate the song.

Because of copyright laws, songs from the twentieth century may not be represented by very many items on the Web site. While every effort has been made to obtain permission to use these songs or portions of these songs, in some cases this has not been possible. Therefore, there may be no recordings or paper items to illustrate those songs, although there will still be text on the history of these songs.

Recordings from the U.S. Armed Forces have been used in many cases to represent these songs partly because the site is being released near Memorial Day to commemorate our veterans. These recordings also carry fewer restrictions on dissemination of performance than more recent commercial releases. (Use of these recordings on the site does not reflect any endorsement for this site by the various Armed Forces branches.)

There are a few reasons songs get stuck in our heads. First, that song could be stuck in your head because of its association with a powerful event in your life, like your wedding, graduation day, or first kiss, and thinking of those events or being in similar events brings the song back. Additionally, hearing that song can bring to mind memories of the event itself.

But what about the songs that are free of these relationships? What about the song you just heard on the radio with the chorus that replays in your head for weeks? What is it about these songs that makes them infectious?

Third, you should build up to the spot where your hook is. Usually this is the chorus, the part of most songs that everyone sings. To build, again, there are a lot of techniques you can use. You could use a simple crescendo, starting softly and becoming louder through your verse until you reach a forte at the chorus. This can be accomplished by starting with one instrument and adding more as you move to the chorus. You could do it also by raising your pitch, starting with a low melody that rises to the highest notes in the song at your hook.

Songs naturally bind lyrics and melody into a unified representation. Using a subsequent memory paradigm, we examined the neural processes associated with binding lyrics and melodies during song encoding. Participants were presented with songs in two conditions: a unified condition (melodies sung with lyrics), and a separate condition (melodies sung with the syllable "la"). In both cases, written lyrics were displayed and participants were instructed to memorize them by repeating them covertly or by generating mental images of the songs. We expected the unified condition to recruit the posterior superior temporal gyrus, known to be involved in perceptual integration of songs, as well as the left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG). Conversely, we hypothesized that the separate condition would engage a larger network including the hippocampus to bind lyrics and melodies of songs, and the basal ganglia and the cerebellum to ensure the correct sequence coupling of verbal and musical information in time. Binding lyrics and melodies in the unified condition revealed activation of the left IFG, bilateral middle temporal gyrus (MTG), and left motor cortex, suggesting a strong linguistic processing for this condition. Binding in the separate compared to the unified condition revealed greater activity in the right hippocampus as well as other areas including the left caudate, left cerebellum, and right IFG. This study provides novel evidence for the role of the right hippocampus in binding lyrics and melodies in songs. Results are discussed in light of studies of binding in the visual domain and highlight the role of regions involved in timing and synchronization such as the basal ganglia and the cerebellum.

There must be a theoretical limit to the number of note sequences that can be constructed out of a set of notes. Isn't it reasonable to assume, and possible to calculate, the total number of recognizable melodies that can be created from these? Doesn't it limit the number of songs that can ever be written?

To put things in perspective, though, no one has ever heard all the songs ever composed in all cultures since the beginning of time, so there maybe exact duplicates of song melodies but without anyone knowing.

I saw a YouTube video, I think Vsauce, where he crunched the numbers. I also just googled it and found this guy -many-melodies-are-there. According to these numbers there are is a very high number of ways to permutate musical notes. The website comes to conclusion of

I'm essentially wondering if two songs can use the exact same notes while still having original melodies. For instance, the same six notes played in the same order but with different arrangement/rhythm.

As has been described, it's not especially difficult to recompose a melody to make it unrecognizable as having been copied from some other song. I did this for the question How to write music if you already know music theory. And you'll see it pointed out in the comments that "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and "What a Wonderful World" have near identical melodies at their beginnings. (I've intentionally "flattened" the rhythm of "Wonderful World" to make the correspondence as clear as possible.)

The other factor here is the underlying harmony. There could be (and are!) two melodies that are identical, but with totally different harmonies attached. That will make them sound like different songs. Not as much, admittedly, as the other way round - keep the harmony and change the melody - which happens all the time in jazz.

Another way to "disguise" the same melody is through the use of tempo and rhythm. Many people know the songs 76 Trombones and Goodnight My Someone from The Music Man, but never realized that they are essentially the same melody at different tempos and rhythms (3/4 Moderato vs. 6/8 March). Kudos to Meredith Willson!

However, one can go further, and change the key, i.e. play the same notes against a different tonal center. This might be difficult for a whole melody, as good melodies often suggest a specific keys, but may work for some shorter phrases or motifs.

The origins of the Merrie Melodies series begin with the failure of a live action series of musical shorts called Spooney Melodies, which featured popular songs of the day. These shorts included segments with a popular artist singing along with appropriate background sequences. Warner Bros. wanted to promote this music because they had recently acquired (in 1930) the ownership of Brunswick Records along with four music publishers for US $28 million. Because of the success of their Looney Tunes series, Warner Bros. decided to develop a new series of animated musical shorts called Merrie Melodies. Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising led the development. It was meant to be a series of musical cartoons that featured hit songs of the day, especially those then owned by Warner Bros. and featured in their musical films. In 1931, many of the shorts featured the orchestra of Abe Lyman, one of the most famous band leaders of his day.

Contractually, Merrie Melodies cartoons were obligated to include at least one full chorus from a Warner Bros. song.[8] Warner Bros. requested that these songs be performed by name bands whenever possible, but this lasted only through the first few shorts. The policy annoyed the animators of Merrie Melodies, since the songs often interrupted the cartoons' momentum and pacing (the 1938 Merrie Melodie A Feud There Was, for example, sarcastically uses the obligatory musical number as a shift in the action, with the lead characters singing the number into a KFWB microphone and ceding the mike to an announcer who reads a commercial). By 1939, the animators had been released from this obligation, and the Merrie Melodies shorts came to resemble more closely the black-and-white Looney Tunes series. In addition, several new characters were created to (initially) appear exclusively in the Merrie Melodies series, such as Egghead, Elmer Fudd, Inki, Sniffles, and even Warner Bros.' most popular cartoon star, Bugs Bunny.

I ordered your e-books, and I am absolutely loving them. I've only very recently started writing songs (I've written four...but all within the last week!), and the information you offer is incredibly useful. So, thank you!

From the setting of the table to the evening's conclusion, the seder is full of opportunities to tell the Passover story in song. In the Reform Haggadah The Open Door we read, "year after year, the words and songs of the Haggadah draw us back... Over the centuries, new words of song and praise have been added to the ritual, lengthening and enhancing the seder."

Passover songs are essential to enhancing the seder while supporting a struacture that leads us from one part of the seder to the next. They reinforce our memories not only of the Exodus story, but also of celebrations throughout the years with relatives and friends, in our own homes or as guests, and at communal gatherings. Whether you are young, old, or somewhere in between, there's a Passover melody for you to enjoy. e24fc04721
