Melharmony
Melharmony is an avant garde form of composing that aims to blend the two primary, yet diverse concepts in world music - melody and harmony. It was first proposed by musician-composer〔''The Hindu'', 26 March 2013〕 Chitravina N. Ravikiran. Melharmony is an inclusive, comprehensive approach to music that takes into consideration the rules and aesthetics of melody-centric systems like Indian Classical as well as harmony-anchored systems like Western Classical & Jazz. Some of these approaches can be fundamentally very different between cultures - including concepts of consonance & dissonance, melodic rules in modal/scalar systems as opposed to rules of counterpoint in harmony based systems. Melharmony aims to come up with artistic solutions to create music that is enjoyable and acceptable to connoisseurs and scholars of both melody-centric and harmony-centric systems while performed by symphony/chamber/string orchestras as well as jazz and world music ensembles.
==Definition & Approach==
Melharmony has been defined as ''"harmony and vertical layers of music with an emphasis on the rules and principles of highly evolved melodic systems"''.〔Morris, Robert and Chitravina N. Ravikiran, "Ravikiran's Concept of Melharmony: An Inquiry into Harmony in South Indian Ragas," Music Theory Spectrum, 28/2:255-76.〕 It was initially seen as a unique classical fusion engaging Western and Indian Classical systems,〔http://www.thehindu.com/2004/07/26/stories/2004072602692000.htm〕 though it has subsequently also been a synthesis of melodic rules of India's classical music with jazz, brazilian and other world cultures.〔http://timescity.com/mumbai/events/beyond-kipling-an-exploration-into-melharmony/15364〕
American composer and music theorist Robert Morris notes, ''"Melharmony therefore suggests that voice leading should be derived from the melodic and combinational structure of a mode (raga). Further, while almost any note combination could be workable when rendered successively, only certain combinations will be palatable when rendered simultaneously, which makes melharmony all the more intricate."''〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZH7DMqih164〕
While a number of systems like the Raga system of Indian Carnatic Music/Hindustani classical music, Chinese Music and Makam system of Persia or have been built upon solid melodic principles dating back to thousands of years, Indian and Chinese systems, which use twelve-tone musical system like Western Classical music would be easier to "melharmonize" as opposed to Persian/Arabic systems, some of which could have as many as nine micro-tonal intervals or comma within every whole tone〔Kurt Reinhard: The New Grove: Dictionary of Music and Musicians. vol. 19. ed. London: Macmillan, 1980〕
