==Melody==
A group of notes played in sequence, also known as a [[tune]], an [[aria|air]] or a line. [[Melody]] is usually subdivided into phrases, which collectively form a structure. Having more than one melody played together (where none of the individual lines is felt to be of greater importance than the others) is known as [[counterpoint]], and is most common in the works of [[Baroque period (music)|Baroque]] composers such as [[Bach]] and [[Handel]].
