- A sequence in music refers to a type of repeated pattern
- There are several different types (categories) of sequences in music
- A melodic sequence is one where a melodic motive, or subphrase, is presented,
then that motive or subphrase is repeated at a consistent interval higher or lower
than the original (usually a step)
- Melodic sequences are most often found in sets of threes (1) original
statement, (2) repeated up or down an interval, (3) repeated at the next level of
the same interval
- When analyzing a melodic sequence, we often name the "interval of transposition",
which is the interval distance of starting pitch of each repeated pattern.
