Subject: RE: OK, Where's the Damn MELODY??
Wait-- one more clue then I gotta go. (I am sitting wet, in a towel, when I should be dressed and at a wedding rehearsal dinner!)

It sounds like it might sound if Emmy and Ricky (our example) both know what the melody IS, and are hearing it to harmonize WITH, but they aren't telling US what it is, and we sort of absorb what it is supposed to be by the combination of the parts they are singing. Like when our choir director played two piano notes and we all heard a third note not even being played-- I think she said that the harmmonics of the two tones added up to an unplayed but hearable note.

What are the WORDS for this??!

Bye! Solve this while I am gone so I can learn the song for tomorrow PLEASE!
