Hello and welcome to Your Greek Word On A Sunday, a weekly, bite-size podcast for anyone curious on language, etymology and connections. I am your host, Emmanuela Lia and wherever you are in the world, if you want to entertain your brain for a few minutes, this is the podcast for you. Let's Go!
Music is primarily comprised of three parts, Αρμονία/Harmony, Ρυθμό/Rhythm and Μελωδία. That last one is a combined word from μέλος(melos) meaning 'part' and ωδή (ode) meaning 'song'. The level of complexity of a Μελωδία is what makes a song of clear and balanced form. In Latin it meant 'a balanced song', in French just 'song' and in English it has come to mean a 'tune'. Μελωδία/Melody
