Hello Clay,

	The melody is the tune and is the progression of single notes in a 
rational manner.  In "pop" music, its the series of notes to which the 
words of a song are are assigned.  Contrasted with that, the harmony ( the 
chords used ) is the rational combination of several notes used to 
support that melody.

	For example, "My Country 'Tis Of Thee" has a melody with which I am 
certain you are familiar.  To make the entire selection sound as one 
would expect it to sound, this melody ( the tune ) has harmony ( the 
chords ) which, when employed, present the entire composition.  Each may 
be presented alone.  However, the "complete picture" is available only 
when the melody and harmony are presented collectively.   

	I hope this illustration will help.  Please don't hesitate to 
e-mail additional questions and/or inquires.  I'll be happy to respond.

	Perry
