The Melodic Layer (1)

What will be an ideal response?

• Principal melodic soloist dominates, for example, with solo voice, violin, veena (plucked string instrument), bamboo flute, or other instruments that have been adapted from the West (such as saxophone, orchestral flute or mandolin).
• Melodic layer also includes the melodic accompanist, often a violinist (if accompanying a vocalist as the principal melodic soloist).
