To me it's no accident that all the symphony orchestras around the world tune up to the note a. and a is 440 cycles, except in germany where it's 444. but the universe is 450 cycles. so what i'm trying to say is, i think it's god's voice, melody especially. counterpoint, retrograde inversion, harmony... that's the science and the craft.

More From Quincy Jones

Imagine you had a bank that each morning credited your account with $1,440 - with one condition: whatever part of the $1,440 you failed to use during the day would be erased from your account, and no balance would be carried over. what would you do? you'd draw out every cent every day and use it to your best advantage. well, you do have such a bank, and its name is time. every morning, this bank credits you with 1,440 minutes. and it writes off as forever lost whatever portion you have failed to invest to good purpose.

When we live apart from god, our lives get out of tune - out of harmony with others and with god. but if we live in tune with the master, we, too, will find ourselves surrounded by his beautiful music. as this new year begins, ask god to help you tune your life every day to his word, so you can bring harmony and joy to those around you.

From harmony, from heavenly harmony, this universal frame began: when nature underneath a heap of jarring atoms lay, and could not heave her head, the tuneful voice was heard from high, 'arise, ye more than dead!' then cold, and hot, and moist, and dry, in order to their stations leap, and music's power obey. from harmony, from heavenly harmony, this universal frame began: from harmony to harmony through all the compass of the notes it ran, the diapason closing full in man.

Melodies can be good depending on the context. you can have a simple melody, and if the harmony behind it is interesting, it can make a very simple melody really different. you can also have a complex melody. the more complex it is, the harder it is to sing, and then sometimes it can sound contrived. you could write a melody that would be fine on a saxophone but if you give it to a singer, it can sound raunchy.
Writing Simple Giving
There are two aspects of individual harmony: the harmony between body and soul, and the harmony between individuals. all the tragedy in the world, in the individual and in the multitude, comes from lack of harmony. and harmony is the best given by producing harmony in one's own life.
