2/3. Hollywood-born composer/ arranger/producer Richard Niles explores the various aspects of musical melody, from medieval
Gregorian chants to the Bee Gees. The subject proves difficult to pin down, but Niles diagrammatically discusses its place in classical, rock, pop, jazz and, perhaps, rap music, and its links with the human voice, harmony, rhythm and lyrics. Assisting Niles in his quest for the perfect definition of melody are pop star Kid Creole (aka August Darnell), Hollywood composer Christopher Young (The Shipping
News, Spider-Man 3) and Terry Britten , who wrote Cliff Richard 's Devil
Woman and songs for Tina Turner
(What's Love Got to Do with It), Meat Loaf and Bonnie Raitt.
