(20) Both tones were based on a five-component harmonic series.
Melodious
Definition:
(a.) Containing, or producing, melody; musical; agreeable to the ear by a sweet succession of sounds; as, a melodious voice.
Example Sentences:
(1) Moments later, Strauss introduces the bold human character with an energetic, upwards melody which he titles "the climb" in the score.
(2) There’s an interesting thing with music like this, how the beat falls with the melody; they often say music is mathematical in construction and this is a very good example.
(3) A psychophysical scaling procedure confirmed that the constraints generated tone sequences bearing degrees of perceptual similarity to "real" melodies.
(4) A model of how people use this information to infer the metre of unaccompanied melodies is described here.
(5) Young children also are sensitive to melodic contour over transformations that preserve it (Study 5), yet they distinguish spontaneously between melodies with the same contour and different intervals (Study 4).
(6) We also know little about the relative aptitude for different musical components, especially melody and harmony.

(9) The fact that "different" responses were both faster than "same" ones and quicker than melody offset indicates the use of a self-terminating search process.
(10) Particular tones were shifted in sequence such that a melody was heard which was undetectable by either ear alone.
