“Melody is an important part of all the music I've written. I think that's why it has been so successful. It's music that sticks in your head.”
Chuck Mangione
“There are not more than five musical notes, yet the combinations of these five give rise to more melodies than can ever be heard.”
Sun Tzu
“Music creates order out of chaos: for rhythm imposes unanimity upon the divergent, melody imposes continuity upon the disjointed, and harmony imposes compatibility upon the incongruous”
Yehudi Menuhin
“It did feel a bit special all along. I think it?s got some of my best melodies in it. It?s the only one of my musicals which never changed from its first preview to its opening night.”
Andrew Lloyd Webber
“Melody kept the ball down and had a lot of ground balls. ... I think the more she throws, the better she's going to get. She's getting better with every pitch.”
Kelly Sears
“Oh, my luve's like a red, red rose, That's newly sprung in June; Oh, my luve's like the melodie That's sweetly played in tune”
Robert Burns
“I think if Unchained Melody does what I think it can do, I think there is an audience out there that would heave a sigh of relief, that finally there is a melody and orchestration, production and a vocalist that is giving them a song that they can just listen to ... and not be annoyed by the vocal acrobatics that vocalists seem to think is impressive.”
Barry Manilow
